"It was always a given fact in the village of Cadge Down that no-one ever crossed the Burning Grounds into the wood. The salt-sewn mix of ash and deadened soil was the only thing between the locals and the monstrous forest guardian that haunted the edge of the forest, keeping humans out and faerie folk in. The Rotted Knight was the stuff of legends, old legends that struck fear into the hearts of children because here, the legends were real, and you didn't spite tradition.
Mollith was never really one for tradition.
And so, into the woods she went, and to the woods she was bound, the day the Rotted Knight tracked her through the woods and struck a bargain in return. It wasn't long before Mollith realized that perhaps she had underestimated the old legends, and some things were far more dangerous than they first appeared."
