Madhupur has lived under the shadow of a single, monstrous banyan tree for generations. Thirty-two villagers are dead. All are said to have been “taken.” Zayan grew up hearing the warnings — but when his father vanishes, he’s pulled into the tree’s legend himself.

What begins as a search for truth becomes a descent into something far older, far darker. Whispers in the branches. Faces in the bark. And a secret sealed in blood centuries ago. Zayan must uncover the key buried in the roots before the tree claims him, too.
