The forest doesn't grant wishes. It collects them. Issac and Hazel Calloway have only ever had each other. Orphaned as children, bound by a legend they've chased their whole lives, the twins finally set out for the Wailing - a forest with one impossible promise and a body count that keeps no one honest. See the Phantom Gray, and your deepest wish comes true. Fifty people have tested that promise. Fifty people never came back. Six days in, the twins find him: silver-gray, standing at the river's edge, exactly like the legend says.
What they don't find out until it's too late is that the Wailing has never given anyone a wish. It has only ever given someone away. Trapped in a house at the heart of the forest, Issac and Hazel discover the true price of the legend - and the impossible choice that will separate them for fifteen years, drag one twin back into the woods to make it right, and end in a room full of secrets that should have stayed buried. Because some secrets you can't live with. And some you can't live without. A slow-burn, deeply emotional horror novel about grief, sacrifice, and exactly how far love will go before it curdles into something else entirely - perfect for readers of backwoods horror, twisted family thrillers, and stories that don't let go once the last page turns.
