The Ghost of Pine Woods

Summary:

CW; Cannibalism, mental and physical abuse, gore, and violence

Hunger can drive one to do many unseemly things

We follow four separate cats through their life. We begin with Basilshade, a cat driven by her hunger for flash. Then, Talloak, a cat driven by a thirst for power, and finally, Basildust and Shrikeswoop, siblings driven by a hunger for the truth. Mysteries unravel, truths are revealed and the horrifying story of Basilshade infects all around her.
