Deep in the cursed heart of Lornwood Forest, something ancient has awakened. The trees whisper secrets in the dark, their twisted roots snatching the unwary, their bark slick with the memory of blood. Black stones litter the forest floor-eyes without lids-staring into the souls of those who dare venture close, dredging up fears best left buried. None who enter return the same... if they return at all. Renowned botanist Kamia May never believed in ghost stories. But when strange mutations begin appearing in the vegetation near Lornwood's edge, she's compelled to investigate. She's not alone. Theo Maddox, a sharp-tongued journalist chasing his next big story, joins the expedition, along with a cynical treasure hunter and his crew-driven by whispers of an artifact of untold power hidden deep within the forest's grip. But as the group pushes further into the trees, doubt turns to terror. The legends are real. The forest is alive. And it hungers. As Kamia pieces together a history soaked in blood and bound by dark ritual, the truth becomes undeniable: the forest is cursed, tethered to a malevolent force that watches through the stones and hunts through the branches. Escape is no longer a goal-it's a fight for sanity, survival... and soul.
