On the day Carl was born, the crocuses heralded the arrival of a special child. Or did they?

Carl King is an average boy, a gentle, kind, sweet teen who attracts an odd assortment of friends. He sometimes confers with trees... and just so happens to have antlers growing atop his head.

Evangeline Chase is an average girl from a close-knit family. She likes to run and enjoys a long walk in the woods... with her bow and arrow.

It's a match made in deep, dark magic. A boy with antlers. A girl enthralled with the chase. A forest keeping grim secrets.

Everything seems fine until someone calls a Hunt....
