Hera Carter thought she knew the forest.
Assigned to Evergreen's secretive research program, she expected quiet fieldwork - collecting samples, taking photographs, and mapping zones deep within the Amazon. But from her very first visit, nothing felt normal. The forest seemed alive, changing... watching.
And then there was him.
Rey Hale - the mysterious man who appeared from the woods when no one else would. The one who seemed to know the forest's secrets... and perhaps was one of them himself.
Drawn together by chance, storms, and something neither could explain, Hera and Rey form a quiet bond - one of soft words and unspoken moments. But as the forest shifts and Evergreen hides more than it tells.
