A botanist discovers a mythical guardian slowly turning to tree—and races to break an ancient curse before he fades forever.
Deep in the mist-shrouded Moncion cloud forest, researcher Elara seeks a legendary orchid rumored to possess otherworldly properties. Instead, she finds Lyra—a breathtaking forest spirit bound to the ancient grove by a centuries-old betrayal. As dark magic transforms him into wood before her eyes, an inexplicable connection blooms between them.
Guided by cryptic visions and the forest's living memory, Elara must decipher three mystical trials. But saving Lyra means confronting a grief-powered curse that threatens to consume them both—and uncovering secrets the forest has guarded for centuries.
