Intro. In the heart of ancient wilderness stands Eldermidst Village, a settlement built in a perfect circle around a tree older than memory — the Moonveil Oak.
The villagers believe the Oak purifies evil.
For three centuries, witches captured in the forest known as The Veil have been bound to its silver bark and executed beneath its whispering leaves. The church calls it cleansing. The council calls it justice. The people call it protection.
But long before Eldermidst was built, the forest already had guardians.
Deep within The Veil, witches still survive in secrecy — some healers, some curse-weavers, all hunted without distinction. Mist clings to the trees, shadows stretch unnaturally, and ancient magic breathes beneath the roots of the land.
Unseen by the village, the Moonveil Oak absorbs every drop of magic spilled upon it, growing stronger with each death.Aaron Blackwood, a rare pure-blood Primordial Elemental witch who rules the deepest shadows of the forest in cold solitude.
