Veinwoods

In escaping the forest, she uncovered the truth that it never truly let her go. For years, Amara was trapped within the twisted heart of Veinwood—a forest whispered of in frightened legends, where trees pulse like flesh and shadows remember your name. Surviving the forest was never the plan. Escaping it was a miracle. Or so she thought. But when Amara finally stumbles back into the world she thought had forgotten her, she discovers something far more horrifying: the forest was never separate. Her town lies directly connected to its unseen roots, and the lives of those she once knew are still quietly strangled by its unseen influence. Armed with fading strength gifted by the very magic that tormented her, Amara sets out to warn, to rescue, to fight back. But Veinwood does not give up its prey so easily. Most never listen. Most never return. And the deeper Amara digs into the forest’s origin, the more she realizes it is not just an ancient evil—it is alive, hungry, and watching. Allies are few. And only the oldest beings—those who once made a pact with the forest—can destroy what they helped birth. But Veinwood remembers her. And it is not finished.
