Faeries, magic, and all things mystical. Things associated with joy, wonder and happiness... Of course these assumptions are all too far from the truth.
Lilium Nightingale has been living in the Faery Hollow for her whole life, and she can't wait to get out of there. There are tales of the days when every faery lived there in freedom and harmony, but those stories are long forgotten and lost. Lilium never enjoyed the Hollow much, but when one day her new, unwanted apprentice asks her questions she never thought about, and her best friend Hybris fails to return from a quest, she really begins to question what is happening around her, and realizes that something is out of place. For deep in the forest, something has gone horribly wrong...

The Hollow Woods and the Clockwork Wolves
In a world where magic ebbs and flows like a living tide, the mysterious Hollow Woods have long been a place of whispered legends and shadowed truths. When Lila, a young woman burdened by the weight of never quite belonging, stumbles into this otherworldly realm, she discovers a land unlike anything she has ever known-where trees whisper secrets, gears hum with forgotten songs, and the moon watches with a knowing gaze. The Hollow Woods are alive, pulsing with ancient magic both beautiful and terrifying. At its heart lies the Whispering Gears, an ancient, broken machine whose purpose is tied to the land's delicate balance. Guarded by creatures of wonder and menace-among them the eerie and majestic Clockwork Wolves-the machine's restoration is the only hope for the Hollow Woods' survival. Lila soon learns she is more than a lost wanderer. She is the child of prophecy, bound to the destiny of the Hollow Woods by threads of magic older than time. As she forges an uneasy alliance with Thorne, a cunning and enigmatic fox spirit, and navigates the complexities of a realm where the lines between ally and enemy blur, Lila discovers her latent power and the truth of her place in this forgotten world. But all is not as it seems. Beneath the forest floor lies a darkness stirring-an ancient, unleashed force that threatens to devour everything. To save the Hollow Woods, Lila must confront her deepest fears, untangle the riddles of the Whispering Gears, and unlock the secrets of the Clockwork Wolves, whose loyalty may come at a perilous price. As the Silver Moon rises and time runs short, Lila must decide: will she embrace her destiny and restore the balance, or let the Hollow Woods-and herself-be consumed by the encroaching shadow? In The Hollow Woods and the Clockwork Wolves, gothic whimsy and ethereal magic collide in a tale of courage, sacrifice, and the enduring power of a heart bound to the pulse of the land.Complete
