Fernwood Hollow: The Rift Between Worlds

In the autumn of 1692, in a world swallowed by fear and superstition, Silver Fernwood has become the village's whispered warning - healer, witch, outcast. When the reverend turns her neighbors into zealots, she becomes prey in a hunt meant to prove her guilt, her wickedness, her worthiness to drown. But Silver has secrets far stranger than superstition: dreams that are not dreams, glimpses of a future she cannot name, and a doorway between worlds that only she can cross. Fleeing into the wilderness, soaked in rain and betrayal, Silver must decide whether she is an omen, a curse... or something the world has never seen before. And somewhere - in the quiet places between centuries - someone is watching. All Rights Reserved

As Colt spirals between awe and existential crisis, he begins piecing together the truth he spent two ...
