People are dying horrifically in the woods of Fort Tenlead, WV. Those who hear their name in the trees don’t out alive.

When Madison Jones returns to her Appalachian hometown after her father’s stroke, she expects a short stay. Instead, she finds a forest that feels wrong. Trails shift. The ground is warm beneath her feet. And something in the mountains already knows who she is.

As search and rescue officer Ben Grayson uncovers a pattern that shouldn’t exist, Maddie realizes the truth is far older than the town itself. This isn’t just a monster. It’s a wound—and the land is ready to heal, no matter the cost.
