Uncontacted

You don't get to document a forest that has already lost everything. Seven researchers. A region no map has ever held. Twenty-three days until the boat returns. The first signs are easy to explain away: an animal, a tribe, the mind playing tricks. Then people begin to vanish, and the team learns that what hunts them is neither myth nor beast.

It is a man-the last of his people-and he will not let them leave. Only Elena will make it out. If she is willing to become a creature of the forest herself. "They came to study the wild. They never knew it was already studying them."
