    Summary

    Have you ever had to keep your existence a secret, because if anyone found out, you would be hunted?

    This is Artemis' reality. Having isolated herself deep in the Elderwood for a decade, she no longer knows what it's like to live as a person. All alone, her identity a secret, she lives every day out of pure survival. Haunted by the memories of her past which keep her trapped in an endless solitude, she sometimes yearns to be able to walk among people again.

    She had always told herself that it's safer the way she lives, until a broad-shouldered miner makes a fatal mistake in the Elderwood, forcing her to act. Now, she feels his pull coaxing her into the light, but the call to the shadows is equally as compelling.
