We've freed Bonesburg and chased these nefarious beings to an eerie forest. Can you feel the malice radiating from it? Twisted, gnarled trees house dark altars, stages for forbidden rites. Dark horrors prowl the shadows, battle is upon us!

Desecrated Grove is the twentieth stage in Kingdom Rush: Frontiers and the second in the Shadowmoon mini-campaign.
