Dryad

A poetic and bittersweet tale of youthful obsession and loss, The Dryad follows a solitary young man who becomes enchanted by a strange, ethereal girl living in the forest. Her otherworldly nature and innocence suggest she may be more than human, as their relationship deepens into something both magical and tragic. Against a backdrop of Victorian societal constraint and romantic idealism, the story explores the fragility of imagination, purity, and desire in a world quick to dismiss them.
