Whispers In The Pines

**She thought it was just a routine field trip. She woke up as prey.** Seventeen-year-old Lana awakens alone in a dark forest, her classmates vanished and her memory blank. As she desperately searches for her missing friends, she discovers she's trapped in something called the Pine Protocol—a horrific experiment that turns high school students into test subjects for psychological manipulation. Hidden cameras track her every move. Masked hunters stalk her through the trees. And beneath the forest lies a secret facility harboring the darkest truths. Why was she chosen? Who is pulling the strings behind this nightmare? What happened to the other "missing" students? Can she break the system before it breaks her completely? As Lana transforms from terrified prey into a deadly hunter, she uncovers that the Pine Protocol's reach extends far beyond her worst nightmares. This conspiracy involves government agencies, vast sums of money, unchecked power... and people willing to pay any price to watch teenagers fight for their lives. But Lana doesn't yet know the biggest secret: the real reason she was chosen. When the truth surfaces, she'll face an impossible choice—one that could destroy everything she holds dear. Some experiments have a cost worse than death. *A dark psychological thriller that will make you question everyone around you.*
