The war Arryn feared has finally reached the Dark Forest.
For generations, the druids have protected their home through strength, loyalty, and an unbreakable bond with nature. But now enemies are coming from within the shadows, and the forest that once felt like a sanctuary has become a battlefield.
Arryn has survived imprisonment, betrayal, and enemies powerful enough to break most warriors.
Now she has something even more dangerous than fear driving her forward: rage.
The people she loves are being threatened. The Dark Forest is in danger. And the forces responsible are connected to enemies Arryn has been fighting since she first stepped into the wider world.
Jenna and Aeris have their own plans. Scarlett's influence reaches farther than anyone expected. And behind the conflict lies a threat capable of turning the druids' greatest strengths against them.
Cathillian refuses to let Arryn face it alone.
Neither does Elysia.
But protecting the Forest may demand sacrifices none of them are prepared to make.
As ancient grudges become open war, Arryn must unleash everything she has learned—and everything she has become.
Because when the Dark Forest burns, there will be nowhere left to hide.
And this time, survival may not be enough.
Someone is going to pay.
