The video was supposed to be a joke. Two teenagers, a dark forest, a local legend. Now they're missing, and something with wings hunts the Pine Barrens under cover of viral fame.

For Special Response Division agent Mara Bishop, what starts as a routine investigation spirals into her strangest case yet. Glowing symbols appear on forgotten structures. Believers armed with cameras and rifles flood the wilderness. Every post, every share, every trembling witness account makes the creature grow stronger.
