Braids and Thorns

Some secrets are locked away. Some magic refuses to fade.

In a forest where ancient magic breathes and the very trees seem to guide those who listen, Ella and Wolfie's pursuit of a mysterious figure leads them to a hidden tower. Still battered and bruised from their last adventure, they uncover something they've only heard about—something frightening.

Trapped and yearning for freedom, Lavender carries a heavy secret and a growing fear. She risks everything to leave the only life she has ever known. Meanwhile, Alec—scarred, blind, and determined—wanders the forest, clinging to the hope of finding the woman he lost.

Can Ella and Wolfie help them find each other—and their way out of the forest? Or is the true magic in simply being found?

In a world where trust is fragile and dark magic drains life itself, their journey becomes more than an escape. It's a fight for healing, for belonging, and for the future of an ancient magic.
