Thrall of the Dark Wood
Young mother Ilse arrived in Forst village seven years ago with an infant in her arms and another little one on the way. Secretive about her previous life, most assumed Ilse to be an unwed harlot, driven from her home by her family’s shame. Ilse is especially tight-lipped about the most pressing question: who the father of her children is.
Ilse bore the burden of their rumors with ease, and for seven years lived in relative peace in a small house just outside of the Dark Wood – a forest that many believed was home to inhuman creatures. None but Ilse had ever dared to live that close, fearing that they would be lured into the Wood, never to return.
When Ilse and her children disappear, seemingly out of thin air, the village assumes the Dark Wood has claimed their lives. What they don’t know is that the father of Ilse’s children, who most assumed to be some nobody from Ilse’s home village, is actually much closer than they thought. He comes from the Dark Wood – and he wants his family back.

Not So Ordinary
This story revolves around the life of 4 different people:
Sara: a high schooler with a conservative personality who’s good at only one thing; studying, but she studies well only to maintain her reputation as “the genius one” with no aim in life. Till now when the SAT is just around the corner, she doesn’t know which path to take because nothing interests her.
Next comes the heartbreaker, Elijah: a college dropout, during his first year in college he changed his major 5 times and then finally left college; his father being a very laidback person wasn’t affected by his son’s antics. Now he’s 24 with a high school degree doing random jobs because he must support himself overall. His good looks get him all the girls, but he can’t stay with a girl longer than a month because after a month they start to get clingy, wanting attention whereas all he wants in a relationship is physical intimacy.
Then comes Charlotte: age 33, a doctor, she had spent all her 20s paying her student loans but is still in debt because of his father’s health condition. Because of this reason, all man who approaches her run away; no one wants a woman whose 70% pay is used to pay off her debt monthly. So, she’s called “The pitiful doctor/spinster” by her relatives.
And in the end, comes Mr. William: a schoolteacher, who had been teaching the same subject at the same school for the past 10 years. He’s a very intellectual person and could do much better with his life but one thing that he had never done is to take a risk, although his monotonous routine bores him still he keeps living the same repetitive life.
These 4 people who are living in different worlds have something in common, their lives are repetitive with no challenges_ in simple words they are ORDINARY.
These 4 Ordinary people don’t know what is waiting for them, entangled in a world of murder, crime, trafficking, mafias, politics, and everything bad; wait and see how their lives will get connected.
