A world where shadows whisper secrets, a young woman in her twenties finds herself haunted by a past that has stripped her of everything she once held dear. Strong yet deeply traumatized, she navigates life with a heart heavy from loss. Each day is a battle against the memories that threaten to consume her, yet amid the darkness, one question drives her forward: what is it that compels her to truly live rather than merely survive?
Set in medieval Germany, a young woman is attacked and forced to seek refuge in a small village in the deep, Dark Forest. But the more she sees of the village, and the more she speaks with its inhabitants, the more she realizes that something is terribly wrong; strange technology, cryptic warnings, and what is that strange humming noise? If she doesn't escape soon, she may never make it out the same person, or alive at all.
