About This Book
The crunch of fallen leaves underfoot and the whisper of ancient trees fill the air as a new adventure awakens in the Endless Woods. Magic hums through every shadow and every breath holds the promise of glory or defeat. Friendships will be tested, and destinies rewritten—can Good and Evil find a way to survive together?
