Blackthorn Orphanage

some children never grow up. Some are never seen again. At the edge of an ancient forest, Blackthorn Orphanage hides a history too old for records and too strange for belief. Jack, a boy who despises rules, and Ellie, the girl who dreams in pictures, begin to uncover the truth behind the yearly disappearances of children - and the boy with green eyes who lures them away with promises of eternal freedom. But the deeper they dig, the more they realize: the forest isn't just a place. It's a memory. A hunger. A song without end. As reality fractures and roots twist through floorboards and dreams alike, Jack and Ellie must decide what they're willing to remember - and what must be forgotten to survive. The Rootbound Orphanage is a haunting, modern gothic reimagining of the Peter Pan myth - where memory is a curse, growing up is a threat, and the forest is always listening.
