You found a cave like nothing you’d seen before, or perhaps it was a nest? The walls were rocks like a cave, but they were strangely shaped - all exactly the same size, and stacked so carefully on top of each other, like the nests your feathered friends make. You decided it must have been a nest for a very large bird once. But nobody was home, and it was so warm inside... so finding yourself a nice little corner, you settled in for a long, long winter.

But when you went to sleep, you met a creature you’ve never seen in your woods before. And when you woke, you were no longer a bear.

Elwyn, a young girl raised with the tales of her parents adventures, and niece of the Master Fabler Warlon himself, is gifted with a knack for finding secret entrances and unsolved mysteries. It's with this gift that she sneaks her way into the abandoned lighthouse just outside her uncle's town... and discovers it's not so abandoned after all—why, there are moths living there!

And so it is that with her many tall tales and grand fables she becomes fast friends with Juniper, the little moth girl who lives there sheltered from the world.

Six years later, following in her uncle and her cousin Edel's footsteps, Elwyn begins studying to become a fabler herself—with her best friend Junie by her side! But a month into their studies, her big cousin disappears...
