But the whispers followed him, and now, a cryptic message on a piece of bark confirms his deepest fear: the Children of the Root have not forgotten him. Marked by an ancient entity and haunted by guilt, Liam must return to the place that broke him to uncover the horrifying truth, or be dragged back into the darkness forever.
