NO RULES.
NO ADULTS.
NO WAY OUT.
WELCOME TO THE DARKWOODS.
Deep in a mystical wood, four clans of boys live in the treetops, their story lost in time and their pasts buried with it. Secrets hide among the shadows of a crocodile-infested river, winding through the heart of the forest and beckoning to explore what lies beyond.
Leonardo is a member of Raven Clan, the boldest and fiercest of the four groups, led by his ruthless older brother Aleksander. When clan hostilities build, Aleksander sends Leonardo on the river to defend Raven territory. Leonardo quickly learns that nothing is as it seems, and a series of inexplicable events-including the appearance of a ghostly lion and a mysterious Native girl, who calls Leonardo and his friends 'Lost Boys'-leads him to question everything he's ever known about the woods he calls home.
As the hostilities erupt into a fully-fledged war, Leonardo is forced to choose between loyalty and instinct; a choice that will seal the fate of Raven Clan and everyone he cares about.

IT ALL COMES DOWN TO THIS.
ARE YOU AFRAID OF THE DARK?
The Cove has fallen. The woods are collapsing. Leonardo and the survivors return north to where their journey began, in search of allies to fight The Dark-a tangible nightmare in search of blood. But when they reach the Darkwoods, they find it even bleaker than they had feared. Any semblance of clan life has crumbled in the aftermath of the Dark.
Meanwhile, an ancient and bizarre game takes place high above the ground in the canopy of the Redwoods, a distant corner of the woods ruled by a leader who calls himself the general. Leonardo's party is magically whisked to their treetop world, where they face a race against time. The Redwoods kids care more about their rivalries than the impending Dark, and Leonardo is forced to join the game in an effort to dismantle it from the inside.
Every plan is dashed by a new setback, and the Dark draws closer by the day. Leonardo must outthink all of his enemies at once, or the woods-and all of its children-will vanish.
