    Summary

    The Verdant Grove – so named after its lush greenery and deep forests - is falling. Something has gone wrong: leaves have turned a sickly brown and brittle. Thickets have grown sparse and anemic, and the earth beneath is parched from rivers that run wheezingly thin.
    Every twenty nights, a “chosen one” makes the trek into the deep woods.

    They never return.

    The reigning Elf King, His Majesty Kyle is rarely seen in public anymore – but when he is, he’s accompanied by his stoic knight, Sir Stanley Marshwalker. While he offers little information to his people, he tells them that their sacrifices are noble. Clinging desperately to their past memories of his warmth and kindness – some believe him. Most don’t.

    To the north, the human King of Thryngar has signed a fragile alliance treaty with the Verdant Grove, and to seal the deal? A diplomatic gift – a princess within his harem, accompanied by her sworn knight: Princess Kenna and Sir Silver of the Mist.

    Neither of them are as they seem.

    And beneath the Verdant Grove lies slumbering an ominous danger. Sleeping – lurking.

    Waiting to be awoken.
