What if I’m the snake? (Larger type. Vicious Hunger is the font name, I believe.)
Gwyn Bassett is a high school senior in the small town of Stonelick, Ohio. She plans to leave upon graduation to pursue a life beyond the confines of her rural upbringing. Her best friend Butch Beauchamp has other plans. His family has run Beauchamp & Sons Orchard for decades. He intends to stay in Stonelick and assume his father’s position running the family business, an enterprise built upon cider, apples, and nostalgia. Her friends Maddie and Casey understand Gwyn’s vision for her own future and focus on enjoying their last year of high school together. One autumn night changes all their lives forever. A tree burns but is not consumed, Butch’s little brother has an unnerving experience, and Gwyn finds herself invaded in a most cruel and unusual way by a power with the illest of intents.
Throughout history, trees have been the fount of a rich body of mythology, apple trees in particular. Their association with the fae folk of Celtic myth and the Apple Tree Man of English folklore are but two examples. Gwyn discovers that these tales are more than just folklore and that not just everyone she loves, but the entire world is in danger of a fiery fate dealt by her own hands.
