Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees: Rite of Spring (2025-)

Eight years have passed since a kind young duck vanished from Woodbrook, his remains scattered in the forest. His family’s search for answers was met with a dead end; the evidence was expertly concealed. In that time, Samantha Strong, the town’s beloved brown bear, has maintained her quiet life, her violent history buried with the past. But the world has changed. The insulated community of Woodbrook is now exposed to the relentless scrutiny of a connected age. The families of the lost have not forgotten, and their quiet determination has found new tools. A cold trail from the 1980s is warming up under a digital sun.
