Chapter 6
The White Silence
Jonas enters the circle and the stones flare white, silencing the wolves. But the silence draws a larger pack led by a massive wolf. Deakonė guides Jonas to deepen his connection to the moon.

The ring holds, but Deakonė reveals the signal has found them and they must seek a permanent solution.
