There are places in this world where stories settle like dust,
where memory lingers longer than time,
and where footsteps echo even when no one is walking.
The Grove was once a place of guidance — ancient, watchful, and wild.
But even ancient things can change.
And sometimes, they must.
This book marks the turning of a deeper page —
a descent into the spiral, where truth curls in on itself and familiar paths unravel.
The heroes you know are still here.
Their pawprints remain, their voices still carried on the wind.
But this time, it is others who must lead.
