The First Branch

In the hidden depths of the ancient Eldergrove, something has awakened. For generations, the Elderkin-guardians of the First Branch-have lived in quiet balance with the forest and the unseen forces that shape their world. But that balance is breaking. When strange disturbances ripple through the grove and long-forgotten powers begin to stir, a reluctant group of warriors, scholars, and outcasts are forced together. What they uncover is far worse than any of them imagined: an ancient threat returning from beyond the veil, one that could tear the Eldergrove apart from root to sky. As alliances fracture and enemies emerge from shadow and myth alike, the Elderkin must decide what they are willing to sacrifice to survive. Because this time, the war will not remain hidden. And the First Branch may not be enough to hold it back.
