Book Description

In the bucolic valley of San Pedro, Tomás's farm rises like a reflection of rural tranquility, but beneath this appearance of peace, dark secrets and a murky past nestle in the Forest of the Forgotten, a vast expanse that has always intrigued and terrified the locals. As the light of dawn begins to dissipate the morning mist that dances over the cornfields, an indescribable discomfort assails Tomás, a palpable sensation pushing him to confront the mysteries surrounding his existence and that of his family. Since childhood, Tomás has had a peculiar connection with Eldermere, marked by nostalgic memories that now immerse him in a sea of uncertainties and unresolved terrors. The disappearance of his father, a constant echo of guilt and fear, brings to the surface traumas Tomás wishes to forget. But upon hearing the enigmatic whispers of the forest and noticing the increasingly restless behavior of his loyal dog, Max, he finds himself drawn into a labyrinth of mysteries he cannot ignore. Accompanied by Dr. Helena, a veterinarian with a deep knowledge of the region’s traditions and superstitions, and Carlos, a skeptical and rational friend who soon finds himself confronted with the dark reality around him, Tomás decides to investigate the ghosts that inhabit the forest. As they explore local legends involving cults and dark rituals, they discover a legacy of pain that connects their own stories to ancestors who succumbed to evil forces. The forest, a living entity with a mind of its own, serves as a terrifying backdrop that reflects each individual's fears and insecurities. The echoes of lost souls cry out for justice, and the shadowy figures that manifest throughout their journey reveal that the shadows are not mere representations of the unknown, but play an active role in shaping the fate of Eldermere. With internal tension growing within the group, they face a series of challenges—both emotional and physical—as they try to unravel the origin of the curse that has imprisoned the region's inhabitants and to free the souls that dwell there. Amid terrible encounters and unimaginable twists, they are forced to confront not only the malevolent entity hiding in the forest but also their own darkest truths and fears. As the looming storm intensifies, the emotional connections between Tomás, Dr. Helena, and Carlos become their greatest asset, while the forest unfolds into a complex plot of betrayals and revelations that challenge the very nature of friendship. The love for Max, a symbol of loyalty that stands as the most powerful force they have, also becomes a crucial factor, linking their stories and driving them to action. The Forest of the Forgotten will confront them with existential questions that challenge not only their wills but also their hearts. What will they be willing to sacrifice in the name of truth and freedom? As they unravel the enigma of the shadows around them and discover the echoes of a past that refuses to be silenced, Tomás and his friends will realize that the true struggle for liberation lies not only in the choices they face but also in the unbreakable bonds they have formed with one another. Prepare for an exhilarating journey through love, despair, and courage, where the whispers of the trees reveal ancient truths, and the horrors of the past shape a present filled with difficult choices. "The Forest of the Forgotten" is a narrative that goes beyond supernatural horror, exploring the darkest corners of the human psyche and the importance of facing our own chains, no matter how heavy they may be, in the pursuit of freedom.
