Moving to a dusty old farmhouse in the country was not Freya’s idea, but her parents insisted she would grow to love their new life. Trying to make the best of it, she sets off to explore the forest that covers their acreage, envisioning endless adventures to come.

Freya barely manages to escape his clutches and soon discovers that she is not the first child to fall into Fawn’s trap.
