Paxiss is in desperate need of an escape. As a palace servant girl, she can only take so much time alone for herself. When she hears crying in the woods, she discovers it's coming from a twisted, coal-black tree. What's inside may be the key to unlocking the problems besetting her world. 

But is Paxiss ready to open up and face the secrets of her own home?

It was a sound in the woods that led to an act of kindness. An act of kindness that led to a debt. A debt that led to a mystery at the center of a realm. Autumn for Black Tree is a story of love and of monsters, wherever you find them and whatever form they may take.

The Dark Fairy by Fayesther

"Nothing good can come from ash." The fairies of the Enchanted Forest have spoken these words over Carabosse from the day that she entered the world. Through cruel words and harboured prejudices from those who were supposed to have her back, the stigma surrounding her unique beginning colours her heart black. All Carabosse truly wants is to be accepted and to have a place in the world. But, once your soul is tainted can you ever truly fit in? Who in the world could possibly bring the dark fairy into the light? Author: Fayesther Cover: Fayesther ©️ Copyright 2021

The Hollow Prince by QueenMariana

COMPLETED. SEQUEL IN THE WORKS *NSFW* Auralie doesn't believe in fae stories-not the ones whispered by dying villagers, not the ones about cursed woods or monsters that eat your heart. But when girls begin to vanish and strange symbols bleed from the bark of the forest, she crosses the veil in search of answers. What she finds is him. Unmoving. Inhuman. Wearing a crown of antlers and eyes like cut emeralds, sharp with amusement. He speaks in riddles. Smiles like a threat. And calls her little moth, like a name he's been saving. The first time they meet, she draws his blood. The second, he offers her a bargain. The third, he consumes her. The Hollow Prince says worse things hunt her now-creatures that wear her face, sing her name, and slip into her dreams. He claims he's the only thing standing between her and the dark. But the deeper Auralie goes, the more twisted the forest becomes-and the harder it is to tell whether the prince is her captor, her shield, or the very thing she was warned to fear. There is a curse. A game. And a price that was never hers to pay.

Where the Wolves Breathe by BooksAndHoess

She could feel the forest die when they returned. The forest had always been her friend. It was the one place that ever made sense to Ivy Swan - the rhythm of rain on cedar, the hush after a storm. The woods were alive to her. Every root, every gust of wind, every whisper through the ferns spoke a language she understood. It was how she breathed. How she stayed grounded. But that morning, the forest wasn't breathing right. The air was too still. The birds were silent. Even the river moved slow, like it didn't want to draw attention to itself. And Ivy felt it - the shift. It crawled up her spine like static, her pulse syncing with the cold ground beneath her feet. The energy wasn't natural. It didn't belong to Forks. It didn't belong anywhere she knew. Something foreign had returned. Paul Lahote X OC

Fall in Love with You by JuniperWhitmore

You live in a small town. You don't believe in love - or in magic. You make up a boyfriend just to get people off your back... and then, one quiet autumn afternoon in a bookstore, you meet the very boy you invented. Agatha Carroway has always preferred to stay out of sight - cozy rituals, quiet mornings, her favorite little bookshop, and a complete absence of romance. A fake boyfriend was supposed to be a harmless white lie, a polite way to stop her family and neighbors from asking questions she never wanted to answer. But when a stranger walks into the shop looking exactly like the perfect boy she once described - the same smile, the same eyes, the same inexplicable warmth - Agatha's carefully ordered world fractures. And when strange things begin happening around her, she can no longer ignore the truth she's denied her whole life: magic exists... and it's waking up inside her. And with that magic comes everything she's been hiding from herself. Now Agatha must figure out who this boy really is, why his appearance is tied to the changes stirring within her, and why feelings she buried long ago are suddenly returning. All of it unfolds as autumn settles over Seven Oaks - golden leaves, quiet mysteries, and the soft kind of magic that alters everything. A cozy fall romance about impossible encounters, awakening magic, and the moment love finds you - even when you don't believe in it. 🍂✨🍂

Demon of Black Hollow by eclipse777

Centuries ago, a demon was cursed to walk the earth for his sins-never to know peace, never to be free. He hides deep in the woods of Black Hollow, where no human dares to stay. Alone, bitter, and bound by darkness, he waits for time to forget him. Until she arrives. Maya had everything-a career she loved, a future she thought was certain, and a fiancé she trusted. One betrayal shattered it all, sending her fleeing into the forgotten wilds of western Pennsylvania. A cabin in the Hollow becomes her refuge, a place to heal... until she discovers she isn't as alone as she thought. He despises humans. She refuses to be driven away. What begins as a battle of will and venom slowly shifts into something neither of them can fight: a dangerous pull, an unspoken longing, and the terrifying possibility that even a cursed heart can learn to love. But in Black Hollow, love is just another kind of curse.

If Only Trees Could Talk by ItsAmethyst7

"If Only Trees Could Talk" They say forests are peaceful... but what if they were also alive? This book is a walk through the woods-sunlight on your skin by day, and shadows creeping close by night. With each chapter, the trees speak. They whisper stories of growth, loss, stillness, and strength. Stories that sound a little too familiar. Told from the voice of an ancient tree, this book invites you to fall in love with nature-not just its gentle beauty, but its haunting honesty. With every leaf turned, you'll find a piece of yourself. And by the time you close the final page, you just might see the forest-and your life-through wiser eyes. "You walk through the woods thinking you're alone. But the forest remembers your footsteps... even when you don't."

Something With a Prince by Melpomene16

What story does the forest keep and what story does it tell? Upon her induction into the king's army, Tallethea Ousin is asked to transport her childhood enemy, the prince of Tuisedor, through treacherous forest in order to protect him from the Blood Queen of Slerian. However, nothing is as it seems in Tuisedor's dark woods. Once their journey begins, the two adversaries find they must work together to survive the malevolent intentions of the forest herself and reach their destination before time is up. Meanwhile, the Crown Prince of Tuisedor haunts his window, awaiting the arrival of war from two neighboring kingdoms, Slerian and Rughwen. Cast upon the throne, he must do what it takes to protect his kingdom, even if that means navigating slippery politics, bold princesses, and cunning queens alike. When curses converge and curses are broken, what is left to be said of the soldier, the poet, and the king? It all lies within one question: what story does the forest keep and what story does it tell? Well, it tells its own of course... *Content Warnings* Hello Darlings, I just want to preface that this book contains a few triggering themes including gore, horror, some sexual misconduct, abuse, mental illness, as well as some profane language. I want us all to have a safe and fun experience, so be well. With love, E.g. All Rights Reserved E.G.

Crescent | ✓ by TheConfusedTurtle

For the fae, magic is everything: status, power, wealth, honor. For Vera Reite, a fae born with no magic, it is a shameful reminder that she will never amount to anything. Whispers of a fae-killing monster begin to circulate the Moon Court. It lurks in the woods, feeding off the mana of its victims. Those that go missing and find themselves at the mercy of the beast are never seen or heard from again. Fear quickly takes hold of the fae court; it's only a matter of time before their whole world is destroyed by this creature. However, it offers Vera a glimmer of hope. When she learns of it, she ventures into the wood to kill the beast, believing that she will be able to absorb the magic it has stolen. But the woods are as dangerous as the beast, and Vera soon finds herself lost. In a stroke of luck, she comes across an old manor deep in the forest where a strange boy is sealed away. If Vera wishes to slay the beast, she will first have to uncover the secret of the manor and its prisoner before it's too late. 𝐀 𝐟𝐚𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐜. 𝐀 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭.
