Feet pound along the floor of the forest as Lily pants heavily. Howling sounds in the distance, 'what is that'? "Who is that?" she wonders out loud to herself. The woods smell like a burnt out fire and the trees sway as if they're dancing miraculously.

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

Lycan Blood/Editing (#2 book to the Lycan series!)
((A/N)) If you haven't read "Lycan King" you should definitely read it for a better understanding of "Lycan Blood." or you can just read this book and go back and read "Lycan King" your choice. ********* ***** ** I follow closely behind Lucious through the dark forest, looking at his tensed back. "I was only helping. I know you're angry Lucious, but you can't go around doing whatever you want anymore. My father has laws in place for these types of things." If Lucious would've wiped that pack out, he would've had to answer to father for his crimes. Lucious turn around glaring at me. "Don't tell me what I can and cannot do! I don't give a fuck about your father nor his laws! He's not my fucking king!" He spits the words at me, before turning walking away. I let out a sigh, looking at his back as he disappears through the thick trees of the forest. He may not accept father as his king, but that doesn't mean father won't punish him for the laws he breaks. ************** ************ ******** **** After all the killing and fighting, Lisa just wants for things to go back to the way they once were, but the peacefulness of her old life back in the human world is long gone. Lisa is now shoved into the world that she was always meant to be a part of. She's no longer in the human world, living by the human ways and laws. Here its killed or be killed.
