About This Book
Crunching leaves and distant roars fill the crisp autumn air as Sylvie steps into a world where monsters aren’t just pretend—they’re real. Her skin prickles with the chill of the unknown, and every shadow hides a new surprise. Alone as the only human, Sylvie must find her courage in a camp where monsters come to life and friendships are tested.
