An ancient forest can be many things.

A playground. A postcard. A sanctuary.

But for Ruth Wescott, a grande dame of Gilded Age Philadelphia society scarred by a terrifying supernatural vision, the forest is a living, breathing enemy. A murderous No Man’s Land, minus the barbed wire.

When her husband uproots the family to a redwood lumber town on the California coast, she’s forced to confront her deepest fears. Surrounded by sinister conspirators and the most forbidding wilderness on earth, it’s time to choose.

A life of comfort? Or trust in the power of the Matriarch?
