Agatha spends her nights watching stars and imagining other worlds beyond her village. Her quiet life shifts when she meets the Lady of the Hills, a mysterious figure who shows her a secret magical realm concealed in the misty territories past her home. The Lady's power captivates Agatha, and she feels pulled toward the wonders this ancient being offers. Yet as Agatha develops a bond with another girl from town, doubts creep in about her supernatural mentor. The Lady harbors darker intentions than she initially revealed, and her age spans far longer than Agatha realized. Her schemes put Agatha's loved ones in danger. Now Agatha stands at a crossroads between two paths: she can trust her new friend or stay loyal to the Lady's influence. Her decision will shape the destiny of everyone who matters to her.
