Hidden In Plain Sight

When multiple people start vanishing from secluded small towns, the local authorities are utterly baffled. They struggle to comprehend the situation, investigate the disappearances, and deal with the rising number of unexplained deaths. As fate would have it, Mary wakes up yet again outside a humble wooden cottage, dazed and covered in blood – a recurring pattern whenever she feels deeply upset. Typically, this stems from her father's strict control, preventing her from pursuing her own interests and limiting her freedom. The constant moving makes it difficult for her to establish lasting friendships, especially considering their frequent moves. A question arises: Is Ryder truly Mary's father? And where is her mother? Why does he never discuss her past? Ryder faces a tough decision: should he reveal to Mary the truth about her supernatural heritage – that she's the Werewolf Princess? Should he have disclosed it earlier, as planned, before the accident, or should he maintain the illusion of humanity to protect her from the dangers that come with her true identity? With Dora, another young woman caught in the crosshairs, facing an arranged marriage into slavery due to her father's gambling debts, Mary wonders if they can save both Dora and herself. Will Dora ever meet her destined partner and find a cure for the werewolf curse? Meanwhile, the enigmatic Hera is on a killing spree, and her motive remains unclear. Could Mary's presence, and perhaps a traumatic event following her 'blood session,' be the trigger? As the story unfolds, hidden secrets of the forest, visible only to those perceptive enough, begin to unravel, exposing the intertwining lives of humans and supernatural beings.
