In the quiet town of Maple Hollow, life moves slowly between pine forests and winding rivers. Nineteen year old Evelyn Carter has always believed there was something unusual hidden in the woods beyond Miller Hill. When she discovers a secret path that no one else seems to notice, her curiosity leads her into a world she never imagined existed.
Deep within the forest stands the ancient Heart Tree, the source of a magical world that has remained hidden for centuries. But the peace of the forest is beginning to fade. A dark force known as the Hollow King is rising, spreading shadow and corruption through the land.
When the forest chooses Evelyn to stand against the darkness, she must face creatures of shadow, uncover the truth about the power within the Heart Tree, and decide whether she is brave enough to protect a world that few humans even know exists.
In a journey filled with wonder, danger, humor, and courage, one ordinary girl may become the only hope for two worlds.
