When a group of strangers awakens deep inside an endless forest with no memory of how they arrived, they quickly learn they are trapped in a place where the laws of nature no longer exist. Every path shifts, every shadow watches, and every sunset marks the beginning of another deadly night. To survive, they must work together while uncovering the truth behind the Forest, the ancient entities that roam within it, and the mysterious countdown that governs their fate. As the days pass, alliances fracture, terrifying creatures emerge from the darkness, and a fanatical cult devoted to the Forest’s hidden ruler begins hunting them. Each answer reveals an even greater horror, leading the survivors toward a confrontation with an ancient force that has waited centuries for their arrival. In the Forest, escape is never guaranteed, and some nightmares refuse to stay buried. Adapted into a film by the book with the same name. (Book not yet published, same as film. Is in the works though!) (Not connected at all to the 20th Century Film called 99 Nights in the Forest. Or the Roblox game 99 nights in the forest, though it does take a little from that. Original idea came from that.)
