Leven Shire by James Finamore
Leven Shire is based on a short story by Jolinda Mendoza that centers around a small, quaint village whose beliefs are based on Norse mythology. The protagonist, Laura De Boer, spends the duration of the story chasing after her twin brother Ambroos, who trespasses into the forbidden forest with his best friend Bartell, ignoring the warnings of the village elders. After trampling through the flowers in the red poppy fields and setting a patch of mushrooms ablaze, the guardian of the forest is called upon by the mushroom folk to deliver retribution. The story ends in a cyclical way, with an aged Laura delivering a cautionary tale to the children of Leven Shire.
