Edrin Hale has lived his entire life beneath a name the village gave him: the Liar's Son. Years ago, his father claimed to have seen the White Stag-Ashenwood's most sacred and dangerous myth-and was cast out not for demanding belief. When the forest begins calling again, Edrin steps into Ashenwood not to prove the story true, but to understand why truth was never enough.
When Edrin discovers a shard of the Horn of Winter, a relic tied to the White Stag itself, he is faced with an impossible choice: vindicate his father by forcing truth into the world of men, or protect the forest by living the truth quietly and letting disbelief endure. His choice wounds the stag, exposes human greed, and leaves Edrin marked as a bearer of responsibility rather than a hero.
