The Dagma Grove
Overview
A stand of the great silver-barked dagma trees deep in Dragantwood, their luminous sap the source of the Duke's fortune and the object of his harvest. Ancient and sacred to the forest's fae, the grove is watched over by a shrine and its herb-doll ward. Of late its finest trees have been found savaged — clawed from crown to root — and worse has happened beneath them.

A Death in the Grove
The Ranger's ReturnThe village wakes to a body: Lord Pemberton, torn open in the eastern dagma grove. But the wounds are too neat and the beast's tracks stop short at a forest shrine — and in the carefully hidden bootprints leading away, Thorn reads the work of a human hand made to look like a monster's.

Two Hunts
The Ranger's ReturnDawn brings the Duke's grand hunt — a mob of armed nobles crashing through the forest for a trophy. Thorn lets it wash past him and hunts a subtler quarry, watching for the man who moves wrong, until the beast itself erupts from the trees and the hunt becomes a rout.
