Small Paws, Big Magic: The Shadowed Woods

$0.00

In Threswal Glade, magic is as common as morning dew. Nestled beneath the roots of the Ancient Oak, your home has always been a sanctuary of peace. But the mountain winds have turned cold, and a creeping decay called the Rotting Shadows is withering the Forest of Astel.

You aren't just woodland creatures; you are the last line of defense for the Glade. Whether you are a brave bunny, a mystic mouse, or a sturdy badger, your heart holds the magic needed to push back the dark. Venture beyond the roots, face the shadows, and save the home you love.
