Haven: Wraithwood: A 90 Minute YA Dark Fantasy Adventure of Magic, Fear, and the Ruins of Wraithwood
Not yet published
Expected 15 Feb 26Wraithwood was abandoned for a reason. Sam and Travis are about to learn why.
A strange orange light flickers along the path. It drifts ahead with careful purpose, always just far enough to follow, guiding Sam and Travis into a story that feels older than the forest around them.
They entered Wraithwood on a mission to save Sarah Dalcome’s life, a mission the Healers believed would fail before it ever began. The deeper they push into the woods, the more their surroundings shift in ways they cannot explain. Shadows seem to lean toward their footsteps. Whispers rise from branches that never move. And the ruined village ahead waits with the uneasy stillness of a place that remembers everything.
Cut off from support and left with no map and no help coming, the boys rely on instinct, courage, and the quiet pull of the orange light. Each step takes them further from safety. Each silence feels intentional. Something unseen keeps pace in the dark, matching them breath for breath.
The forest watches.
The village listens.
And Wraithwood is not empty.
A fast paced 90 minute YA dark fantasy novella filled with eerie atmosphere, tightening tension, and the shadows gathering at the edges of Haven’s future.
