Kael is a rugged human tracker, his sun-leathered skin and scarred hands telling tales of countless hunts gone right—or wrong. He's pragmatic to a fault, with a dry wit and a habit of chewing on bitterroot to stay alert. Unlike the superstitious villagers who fear the woods, Kael respects them, though he'd never admit it. His latest assignment? Find the "leaf-clad phantom" who's been sabotaging lumber camps. He expects a feral beast. What he finds is... something else entirely.
