The Curse of Yuci T Bay

A Prequel to The Rootbound Chronicles
by C.W. Outis

Before the Grove awakened.
Before the Whisperroot stirred.
Before containment became doctrine-
there was Yuci T Bay.

For generations, the small coastal town has endured a curse no one fully understands. The forest rots from within. The tide withdraws too far. Livestock are born wrong. And when the signs appear, the elders whisper the same warning:

It always demands a life.

Determined to end the cycle, two parents risk everything to uncover the truth buried beneath the bay's twisted roots. They believe the curse can be broken. They believe sacrifice can save their unborn child from inheriting its shadow.

They are right.

But breaking a curse requires more than courage.

It requires a decision no one should have to make.

When love and survival stand opposed, one must be cut away. The world will be saved. The curse will end. And a daughter will be born into the quiet certainty of what it cost.

Atmospheric, haunting, and morally unflinching, The Curse of Yuci T Bay reveals the formative tragedy that shaped one of the most powerful ideological forces in The Rootbound Chronicles. This gothic prequel explores sacrifice, betrayal, generational legacy, and the chilling philosophy born when betrayal succeeds-and works.

For readers of dark folklore, gothic horror, and morally complex fantasy.
