In the heart of Whispering Hollow, where ancient pines stretch to the sky and the mist never quite lifts, something is wrong. When Scout, a clever red fox with a sharp nose and a sharper mind, discovers strange symbols carved into the oldest tree in the forest, he knows trouble is stirring. But it's more than just odd markings-animals have started vanishing. First a squirrel, then a badger, then a wise old owl. Scout forms an unlikely team: a fast-talking raccoon with sticky paws named Tuck, a brave but skeptical porcupine named Luma, and an owl hatchling who might know more than she lets on. Together, they must follow a trail of clues deeper into the Hollow-where legends come to life, and secrets are buried in the roots. The forest is hiding something... and it doesn't want to be found.
