Brandon's discovery of gold in a forgotten cavern should have been a triumph. Instead, it awakens something ancient. Symbols begin to appear-etched into his home, counting down. Figures gather in the trees, silent and still, watching. The forest doesn't threaten. It waits. As time unravels and reality bends, Brandon must choose: resist the pull of something he doesn't understand, or step into a fate carved long before he arrived. The treasure was never meant to be found. And the forest never forgets.
