Summary
What lies in the wood: Naomi Shaw used to hold a deep belief in magic. It was twenty-two years ago when she, along with her closest companions, Cassidy and Olivia, spent an entire summer exploring the woods, weaving intricate fantasies of a world filled with enchantment and awe. This shared experience was named the Goddess Game, a tribute to their youthful imagination. However, the idyllic summer came to an abrupt end when Naomi fell victim to a sudden attack. Against all odds, she managed to survive despite sustaining seventeen stab wounds. Her resilience also led her to identify the perpetrator behind her assault. In a remarkable turn of events, the trio’s testimony resulted in the capture of a serial killer, responsible for the gruesome murders of six women. They were hailed as heroes for their bravery.
But beneath their heroic facade lay a web of deception.
Throughout the passing decades, Naomi and her friends harbored a secret so significant that its revelation could lead to murder. Now, Olivia, one of the trio, is determined to unveil this well-guarded secret. Naomi embarks on a journey to uncover the truth surrounding their time in the woods, even if it means confronting perilous and unsettling realities.
