Each spring, the village of Dawn's Rest awakens to a chilling tradition: The Dawn Run. This sprint through an ancient forest is more than a test of endurance—it's a rite of passage bound by blood, sacrifice, and an ominous rune of untold power. As this year's run unfolds, the villagers face horrors that lead them to question whether the rune's burgeoning strength will be their salvation...or their ultimate downfall.
"We Are the Dawn Run" is a riveting short story that weaves together elements of dark fantasy and haunting mystery. Perfect for fans of Neil Gaiman's "The Ocean at the End of the Lane" and Ursula K. Le Guin's "A Wizard of Earthsea."
"Prepare to be entranced by Saffira Raine's masterful tale of ancient rites, communal courage, and the dark secrets that bind us. 'We Are the Dawn Run' explores the fine line between tradition and terror." — Jordan Maxwell
