When corruption begins poisoning the ancient Hearthwood Oak that has protected their valley for generations, the Brytewood family must confront both supernatural darkness and the gritty realities of their own fractured relationships. Set in a late medieval Italian-inspired world, this fantasy adventure follows a family bound by blood and sacred duty as they're forced to work together on a desperate quest to save their home.
Marcus, a war-scarred former soldier turned carpenter, struggles to lead his family while battling inner demons. His healer wife Elena carries monastery wisdom but questions whether faith alone can save them. Their children—a pathfinding son coming of age, an artistic daughter with a sharp eye, and a young girl marked by divine light—must each find their role in a mission that will test every bond between them. As they navigate treacherous politics, face down corrupt nobility, and race against time to heal the dying oak, the Brytewoods discover that their greatest enemy isn't the supernatural evil threatening their valley—it's the fear, doubt, and old wounds that threaten to tear their family apart from within.
A story where real family dynamics collide with epic fantasy stakes.
