the Princess and Singing Forest

For twenty-one days, Princess Amara has listened to the forest beyond her father's forbidden border.The Sylvan Choir sings every night-a vast, haunting harmony rising from the ancient trees. And Amara knows one voice within that impossible music.It is her mother's.Queen Genevieve vanished into the forest three weeks ago, and King Victor has forbidden anyone from searching for her. He insists that the Queen is gone and that the forest is an enemy that must never be approached. But Amara refuses to accept his silence.Leaving the safety of the castle behind, she crosses into the luminous wilderness and discovers that the singing forest is far more terrifying than the legends suggest. Its countless voices belong to people who entered the fog and never returned. Their breath has been woven into the living timber, bound to an ancient mechanism that feeds upon human life.And somewhere at the heart of that terrible choir, Genevieve is still alive.But reaching her will demand more than courage. The forest cannot be defeated with swords or royal commands. Its ancient harmony responds to blood, memory, grief, and song. As the darkness within the trees begins to consume Amara herself, she must learn to stop fighting the forest and instead listen to what it has been trying to say.To save her mother, Amara must find a forgotten note-a living counterpoint capable of transforming centuries of sorrow into harmony.Because sometimes the only way to break a song is to give it a new ending.
