Prologue

When loner Emma inherits a small cottage from a distant relative, she is ecstatic to have her own place away from the noise and hassle of other people. She relishes the idea of growing her own food and reading on her front porch in the quiet, unbothered by the rest of civilization and their expectations. What she didn't expect, was that other people were the least of her worries. There are things in these woods much more worrisome than noisy neighbors and a lot more dangerous.... but maybe, a lot more exciting as well.
