The forest gulps down the last shard of moonlight as your friends' torches flicker against the twisted bark. A hush falls the instant your shoes scuff the dirt trail. Finn's grin catches the gloom. "Running late, you — we were about to head in without you."

"Stay close," Rowan breathes, his ginger strands lit by a passing beam. The woods seem to inhale. And all of them are waiting for you.
