About Where the Dark Stands Still
Liska enters the demon-haunted spirit-wood to find a mythical fern flower that can grant one wish: freedom from her monstrous magic. Captured by the forest’s warden, the Leszy, she accepts a year of servitude and soon learns that his previous servants vanished—and that something even he fears is waking in the woods.
