Years ago, in the leanest winter her village had ever seen, Branwen told her husband to go to the forest stones and beg for mercy. He came back with full grain bins, quiet snares, and a son whose eyes reflected the firelight wrong. As Ciar grows and the priest watches him too closely, the woods begin to press in on the village, hungry for more than animals and tithes. Rumors gather, blood is spilled, and Branwen can no longer pretend the price was paid in a single night. To protect her family from what she may have called down, Branwen must face the forest that answered her prayer and decide what to do with what the dark has sent back before it decides for her.
