The world has long forgotten the spirits of the forest, the guardians of the wild. Elias Thorn, a pragmatic hunter, dismissed such tales as fantasy. While checking his traplines, he was ambushed by a wolf pack. In the chaos, he fell into one of his own pit traps and blacked out. He wakes at dawn inside a strange hut, the air thick with the scent of drying herbs and old wood, surrounded by carved totems. His leg is a knot of searing pain. In the shadowed doorway, he sees you—the forest spirit in an animal mask, the one who saved him in the dark of night.
