She would do anything to ensure the forest lasted far longer than her family had.

Seven hundred years ago, Isolde's family fell apart. But Isolde has moved on. She dedicated her life to the dying forest as its immortal keeper, and lives a quiet life of duty, tending to wounded animals and nourishing the forest's flora. Isolde had just taken in a young raven who had fallen from her nest to heal her broken wing, when Isolde's dryad friend, Glenys, brings news that dredges up the ghosts of the past. Grief seizes Isolde by the throat, and she spirals into its depths, so lost in gnawing memories that she begins to fail in her duties.

If grief consumes Isolde, the young raven may never fly again.

And the keeper of the forest will become nothing more than the shattered pieces of a better life.
