Ava: Vor neun Jahren habe ich etwas Schreckliches getan. Es war nicht meine beste Stunde, aber ich sah eine Gelegenheit, den Mann zu bekommen, den ich seit meiner Kindheit geliebt habe, und ich habe sie ergriffen. Jetzt, Jahre später, bin ich es leid, in einer lieblosen Ehe zu leben. Ich möchte uns beide aus einer Ehe befreien, die niemals hätte geschlossen werden dürfen. Man sagt, wenn man etwas liebt, soll man es loslassen... Es war an der Zeit, ihn gehen zu lassen. Ich weiß, dass er mich niemals lieben wird und dass ich nie seine Wahl sein werde. Sein Herz wird immer ihr gehören. Und trotz meiner Sünden verdiene ich es, geliebt zu werden. Rowan: Vor neun Jahren war ich so verliebt, dass ich kaum noch klar sehen konnte. Ich habe alles zerstört, als ich den größten Fehler meines Lebens gemacht habe, und dabei die Liebe meines Lebens verloren. Ich wusste, dass ich meiner Verantwortung nachkommen musste, und das tat ich – mit einer ungewollten Ehefrau. Mit der falschen Frau. Jetzt hat sie mein Leben erneut auf den Kopf gestellt, indem sie sich von mir scheiden ließ. Um die Sache noch komplizierter zu machen: Die Liebe meines Lebens ist wieder in der Stadt. Die einzige Frage ist jetzt: Wer ist die Richtige? Ist es das Mädchen, in das ich mich vor Jahren Hals über Kopf verliebt habe? Oder ist es meine Ex-Frau, die Frau, die ich nie wollte, aber heiraten musste?

As I'm unable to get a ticket for my return trip after the Thanksgiving holiday, I specifically booked a first-class seat home. Just as I find my seat, I see an unruly child jumping around on it. I patiently smile and say, "Kid, this is my seat. Where is your seat?" He makes a face at me. "It's mine now, old hag!" I grab him by the collar of his shirt, wanting to lift him out of the seat. At that moment, a woman's piercing voice sounds behind me. "What are you doing? Let go of my son!" I release my grip and say as gently as possible, "Please control your child. This is my seat." Suddenly, she raises her voice. "He's just a child! Can't you, as an adult, give way to him? You're young and dressed decently. How can you have no compassion at all?" I'm so angered by this distorted reasoning that I laugh. "If you're so compassionate, why didn't you spend the money to buy your child a first-class seat?"

In the quiet of the forest, the darkest fears are born. The people of Dunballan, harbour a dark secret. A secret more terrible than the Beast that stalks the dense forests of Dunballan.

But, with the whole town against her, she must ally herself with an ancient woodland force and trace Dunballan’s secret back to its bitter origins.
