Issue 1
Volume One
Reed Lewis thought leaving the woods behind would help.
Instead, the Thornshade mutations continue to spread beneath his skin — black branching cracks, sharpened teeth, unnatural instincts, and the constant presence of Shade, the darker layer of himself that refuses to stay quiet.
As Reed struggles to adapt to a body that no longer feels entirely human, everyday life becomes increasingly unsettling. Late-night conversations, strange hungers, quiet paranoia, and subtle biological changes slowly blur the line between survival and acceptance.
Because the real horror was never losing himself.
It was discovering how much of this was already there.
