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.
