Chapter One: The Warden

In the village of Fellmere, witches are folklore and tourist tales. But when Ellis's friend goes missing, he steps into the Nithwood, a magical, ancient forest that should be sealed from the world. The gate should've closed. It didn't. And now something is trying to open them all. To stop it, Ellis must join forces with shapeshifting beasts, a shaman who speaks through his granddaughter, and embrace a magic he barely understands. The Nithwood has chosen him and it doesn't care if he's ready.
