The epic love story of a magical girl, the unripe fruit she left behind, and a deadly curse.
No matter how far she goes, the forest always comes for Emelaine Lark, chasing her with its mysterious disappearances and tales of magic.
When her grandfather disappears, Emelaine is forced to enter the forest to save him. There, Hawthorne Fell, a handsome and grim toll collector, tries fiercely to stop her from continuing the search, even though a spark ignites between them.

Undeterred, Emelaine enters the Court of the legendary King of the Forest and makes a deal: her voice for her grandfather's freedom. She does not know that she has faced a curse that threatens the very existence of this mysterious world in which she is now trapped. 

To survive, she must cooperate with the explosive yet secretive Hawthorne. If she fails, she will lose everything she holds dear.
