If you tried to find this place on a map, you would never succeed. It lies where the roads end and the forest becomes so dense that even the sun cannot penetrate the canopy. And here, amidst the ancient pines and the mist, it stands—the Cottage of Wonders.

In the deep Siberian forest, where even the birds have fallen silent, stands an ancient tree. Its gnarled branches have tightly entwined the skeleton of a person who disappeared here many years ago, and vines have grown through the ribs and eye sockets, fusing the bones to the bark into a single whole.

Every forester who approaches this tree risks becoming its next part—and only the map holds the silence about what happened here.
