When Pocahontas was two summers old, the SkyKeepers erased her mother's name from the tribe's history. Her father encouraged it, as he encouraged many things--for her safety. He couldn't have another chief's wife taken by the things of the newworlders, lost to their treachery, their diseases. So he married her to Kocoum instead.
For years, Pocahontas has given her life to others: to her distant father, to her inflexible husband, to her brother and her tribe. Now newworlders invade her forest, strange pale visitors that follow magic spinners over seas and record their histories in curving letters-letters which may prove to be her closest link to her mother. Discovering a past she didn't know existed, Pocahontas will risk her marriage, her family, her tribe, and her chiefdom to uncover the truth.

Rosin
Ernwood Forest is home to winged people no bigger than a person's hand. Hidden away from the eyes of all humans, they live within the woodlands in three secrete tribes. Things can be tough in a world so much bigger than you, but the tribes are strong and protect the tiny people against all dangers. Even humans. Three tribes. Only three. That is the truth everyone knows. Until Rosin discovers that what she grew up believing doesn't even scratch the surface of what's out there in the forest. --- Rosin Magnolia hates people. The safe refuge everyone around her calls 'home' feels like a prison to her- so when she learns that there are other tribes somewhere in the forest, the decision to leave is hardly a choice. She makes it her mission to search the woodlands and bring the lost tribes together. But to do that, she'll have to leave her own tribe behind... which means leaving the people she loves most in the world. The forest is rife with predators. Beasts like humans; towering beasts that prowl through the trees without care or concern for the life they might trample. Leaving might just turn out to be a suicide mission. But Rosin soon begins to wonder who is in more danger- the tribes she is looking for, or the one she left behind... --- ⚠️ Mild fear/ violence warning (things get just a lil intense at parts) 💃 Ongoing story, I'll update whenever life lets me 💀 ❤️ To anyone who has read the other two stories set in this little world, this story includes a lot of information that was left out in the main storyline, mostly about Rosin (obviously lol) Wren and Aspen Hope you enjoy 💕💕 Please comment/vote/ let me know your thoughts!!!Complete

Kitsune have more names than there are stars in the sky, but I only have one--Jack Jericho. Call Kon of the Many Tails whatever you want-fox-spirit, monster, kitsune, myth-to me, she's one thing-mom. But everybody's got a past, and hers is about to catch up to both of us. I always knew there was more to her than keeping me safe during the war between Glass and Stone that almost took out a town called Dooms, Virginia. Hey, with a name like Dooms, I guess you should expect an apocalypse or two. When I was a baby, my parents gave me to a crazy cult lead by a magic-wielding, Bible-beating psycho called the Glass Man. To get his way, he was willing to kill whoever he needed to. Even me. An army of monsters and people took him out before he could. Most people don't know about that stuff. People like thinking that magic is fake and that the world is boring. They want to believe that monsters are just things you read about in books. But a very real and powerful monster is coming after Kon and will stop at nothing to get her! No matter what, I'll die to keep her safe! I may look normal, but I have a few tricks up my sleeve. To save Kon, I'm gonna have to fight my way past wolf-monsters, humanoid crows that call themselves the Widow Boys, and even more! I thought I knew what I should be afraid. I didn't. But I'm about to find out ...Complete
