In a land where the forest remembers everything, a woman draped in red steps off the sacred path and into a world of dream and danger. Rose, heir to a legacy she does not yet understand, ventures into the cursed woods to find the truth behind her vanished father, the illness eating her land, and the monster haunting her heart.

Guided by a living cloak, hunted by a cursed nobleman with the eyes of a wolf, and tested by thorns, stars, and shadows, Rose must learn not only to survive—but to lead. With each trial, she uncovers the strength of the women before her and the power of her own hands to heal, restore, and protect.

But the forest has been waiting for her. And some paths, once taken, cannot be undone.
