Some gates keep danger out.
Others keep the truth in.
When BAYAN Energy brings smart progress to the quiet town of Wickerford, everything seems fine-until the questions begin.
Lights flicker where they shouldn't. Systems behave too perfectly. And deep in the woods, something ancient is watching.
Rowan didn't mean to follow the breadcrumbs.
He didn't mean to find the house with legs.
He definitely didn't mean to be seen.
Because Baba Yaga isn't a monster.
She's a measure.
As the town clings to comfort and the truth begins to surface, Rowan and his friends are forced into a choice no one should have to make:
Fast pain that breaks everything...
or slow pain that reveals it.
The forest does not punish.
It stops holding.
And when it does-
everything hidden begins to surface.
A dark modern folklore thriller blending Baba Yaga mythology, ethical systems, and quiet horror
Perfect for fans of The Hazel Wood, Small Spaces, and Over the Garden WallBalance isn't gentle.
And the forest keeps its own score.
