Sylvie is living in a village with no name. Since no one speaks about it, she has no concept of keeping track of the years. When it comes time for her to participate in ‘the ritual’, she plots her escape. But the elders have other plans for her.

When she has a vision and is told to ‘find the tree,’ she has no idea what it means. But it sounds a lot better than what the elders expect of her. A raven and a fox are her only companions when she leaves the only home she’s ever known.
