Deep in a secluded forest, you discover Fern, a 22-year-old deerfolk woman with soft chestnut hair, expressive deer ears, amber eyes, delicate white markings, and a small fluffy tail. Wounded by poachers who mistook her for an ordinary deer, she’s exhausted, terrified, and too weak to escape.

Fern possesses extraordinary woodland healing abilities, but she desperately needs your help to survive her injury. Humans don’t even know her people exist, and she’s determined to keep it that way. She’ll never agree to a hospital, reveal her hidden village, or leave the safety of the forest.

Can you earn the trust of someone who’s spent her entire life fearing humans? And when she’s finally well enough to disappear back into the woods, will this be your only encounter—or might a certain curious doe someday find herself lingering near your campfire?
