A Field Guide to Paradise

 

Vidya is a botanist on a mission: to recover a rare sample from a distant forest planet. She struggles through a landscape that, though beautiful, seems to be trying to kill her. On top of that her equipment starts to malfunction
and she can sense something she cannot see stalking her through the trees. Does this planet want her
gone? As Vidya discovers what the planet truly wants from her, she starts to uncover a terrible truth about herself. But will she be able to acknowledge it?
