Echoes of Oblivion: The Lingering Shadow - Volume 2
Three forestry workers have vanished in the boreal forests near Forestville, Qu bec - all in the same disputed logging sector, all over the span of three years.
The company calls them accidents.
Their families call them something else.
Two months after closing the case in Sainte-Ad le, journalist Maude Leclair drives north along the St. Lawrence, following a trail that leads deep into territory the Pessamit Innu have warned for generations should never be touched - a place they call where the earth breathes.
What she finds waiting in those woods is not the same mist she left behind in the Laurentians. This one doesn't drift gently through the dark, searching. This one stands guard. It doesn't take pieces of a person slowly, over months. It takes them whole - and keeps them, suspended somewhere between the living and the lost, deep in a forest the company is clearing tree by tree.
And as Maude follows the trail into the heart of an ancient, furious territory, she uncovers something about herself she never expected: the forest didn't just notice her arrival. It has known her since childhood. Because somewhere in her own bloodline is a woman who once walked into these very woods and spoke to what lived there - and who always came back out with what the forest had taken.
Now three families are waiting. Three men exist somewhere between worlds. And Maude has one chance to step into the oldest part of the forest, carrying nothing but a bone carving, a handful of dried herbs, and a name she only just learned was hers to claim.
