In a desperate bid to prove herself to her dying father and secure her family's legacy, Stella pursues her dream of building the Eden Resort. But Willow Crest, the land shes targeted, is a mystical town frozen in time that lies within a lush forest. On its border an ancient willow stands dominantly, guarded by Silas, a mysterious figure rumored to wield magic to protect the tree. As the battle for the land breaks out into war, Stella uncovers long-buried family secrets that threaten to upend everything she thought she knew about her past, her family, and herself. With her ambition and legacy hanging in the balance, Stella must make a choice: complete her vision, no matter the cost, or risk everything she's ever known to forge a new path. Will she find a way to reconcile her drive and desire, or will the consequences of her choices destroy everything she holds dear? This gripping tale of dark fantasy, magic, and self-discovery explores the complexities of family, legacy, and the true cost of ambition. From a young age, I've been captivated by the power of stories. I'd lose myself in fantastical worlds, imagining adventures and magic. Now I'm excited to share my own tale with you. I hope my book transports you to uncharted realms, ignites your creativity, and resonates with you long after the final page. This is a work in progress, and my first book, I'll be updating it regularly as I revise and add new chapters. I've currently drafted 16 chapters, which may be posted here as I finalize them. I hope you'll join me on this magical journey and provide feedback along the way. Let's get lost in the magic of Willow Crest together!
