The Slayer of forest heights

One night can change everything. 

 

Madison was home from college for the summer, ready for one last stretch of normal before life truly began. 

Until the night she died. 

 

When witches bring her back, they bind her to a power they don't understand. A power she doesn't want—but it’s one the world needs. Madison has the ability to fight what lurks in the dark, and like every slayer before her, that power comes with a cost. There’s no way to undo what’s been done. Evil knows she exists—and will keep coming. To survive, she must learn what it means to be a slayer. 

 

Assigned to train her is Adrian, a disciplined guardian bound by rules and obedience. He teaches her how to fight—but when Madison asks questions, he offers warnings instead of answers. That’s how guardians are taught to keep slayers alive. 

 

As Madison learns what she can do, the gaps in knowledge become harder to ignore. 

Everyone around her seems to know less than they should. 

And her awakening was closer—and more intentional—than anyone realizes. 

 

Staying alive means learning how to fight— and questioning the rules meant to keep her in line.
