博客來After a disastrous birthday ceremony and coming-of-age ritual gone wrong, Lora flees home, taking her new lycanthrope form for a test drive on the streets of Glenhurst, and hoping to prove her worth. When she answers a local job posting at random, Lora lands in the company of two other strangers: Nic and Art.
Nic has sought redemption from his own past failings on his fiancé’s family farm. When that security is threatened, he takes matters into his own hands, seeking out a connection from his sister’s college days, who is rumored to have experience with magic blades and killing tyrants.
Art longs for the past about as often as he longs to forget it, pouring his time into cooking, mutual aid efforts, bounty hunting gig work, and studying crosscosm theory (the idea of travel between worlds). This job will pay his rent, and, if he’s lucky, not give him time to think about his trauma.
The job? Enter the forest and eliminate the threat that’s been causing townsfolk to go missing. But the woods are dark, and they have eaten adventurers before. When their pasts come back to haunt them, can the fledgling party survive?
