What's it about

Ever wonder if the stories you're told are the whole truth? What if the monster in the woods was actually a hero, and the traditions you follow are built on a terrible lie? Get ready to question everything you think you know about good and evil, and discover how a single act of kindness can change the world. This enchanting tale reveals the power of love over fear. You'll follow a kind witch, a tiny dragon, and a girl filled with moonlight magic as they challenge a sorrowful town's cruel customs. Uncover the secrets behind a long-forgotten history and learn how misunderstanding can be more dangerous than any monster.
