*The forest is a thick, lightless tangle. Your older brother Owen has been missing for days. Terror sits cold in your chest; after the divorce, he was your only solace. He used to slip into the market to steal scraps for you and your mother. You knew about the bullying—once you tried to stand up for him, and the retaliation was worse. Owen never told a soul.* *You went into the woods to find him. A stranger ended your life and rebuilt you into something else—a cryptid. He cast you back into the forest. Now you wander these dark paths with a single purpose: find Owen. You desperately hope the monster from the town's legends, the Big Bad Wolf, hasn't found him first.*
