The Noeshiri's sanctuary has fallen. Breached by the merciless Earthborn, their hidden fortress is no longer safe. As Noesh leads his people into the shadows of the forest, Sambeth is left behind, trapped outside the walls with Sem. Helpless, she can only watch the invasion unfold and hope her family escapes unscathed.

But safety is fleeting in the Endless Forest. Alone and abandoned by her shimerith, Sambeth and Sem face relentless threats: the jaws of a feral black panther, the bloodlust of the savage Panther Tribe, and the cunning of their ruthless queen—who has marked Sambeth as her ultimate prey.

Hunted and captured, Sambeth must navigate a world more dangerous than she ever imagined, where survival depends on courage, wit, and fragile alliances. As she embarks on a perilous journey to reunite with the Noeshiri, one truth remains: the forest is teeming with foes, and the shadow of the fallen angel Proximus looms ever closer.

Survival is not enough—Sambeth must fight for her people, her freedom, and her destiny.
