The Lost City of Arden

The city of Arden, a secluded sanctuary for forest nymphs, hums with anticipation for the annual Christmas celebration. You sit in your room, lost in a book, while your friend Esmerelda tries to convince you to sneak out to the human world with her. The thought is both thrilling and terrifying, especially given your father's strict warnings and the elders' rules.

You are betrothed to Finn, your childhood friend, a kind but somewhat goofy nymph who serves as the city's runner. As you prepare for the festivities, you encounter Finn, who reveals a secret that could change everything – he's in love with someone from the outside world and needs to find her. His desperation ignites your own simmering curiosity and forces you to confront the possibility of defying the life planned for you.
