A highborn young woman in a secluded community finds herself caught in the center of an ancient prophecy to carry the malevolent child of her community’s tree deity as she desperately fights to gain agency and explore her suppressed sexuality.
Set in a fully fictional universe, this secluded cult lives in a time and place similar to 1500s-1700s North America with inspiration from German folk aesthetics.
