Ernwood Forest is home to people living hidden from the prying eyes of humans; the Winged and their tribes. These people stand no taller than a few centimetres off the ground, meaning that things can sometimes get a little difficult... especially when humans are involved.
But life isn't all bad. For the first time ever, Azure and the tribes have a human of their own protecting them from the sinister forces beyond the edge of the trees.
As the months of winter roll in, nights are growing longer and snow has settled on the leafless branches. The forest is still. The only humans anyone expects to see are the few that know of the tiny people's existence.
But the tribes are not alone in the forest anymore.
The abductions begin.
The past awakens.
And a long forgotten shadow falls over the forest.
Azure and the others once again find themselves having to fight to prevent their family from being ripped apart- only this time, things are different.
This time, even the humans are in danger.

⚠️ Mild fear/ violence warning
---
This is the third part to this little trilogy :) I would recommend reading the other parts first if you can suffer through them. I can gladly summarise all that has happened so far in a lil note in the beginning if people so desire to skip two stories full of what a younger-me considered good writing :)

A Forest of Cryptids and Shadow
Sky had always been warned of the evil that lie beyond the forest, the dangerous monsters which had preyed on humans long ago. ~🐺~ But after a famine which had raged through his city of Anthropolis, causing the citizens to become desperate, even going as far as to kill their own kind, Sky finds that the only option he has left is to venture beyond the city limits and into the forest where the monsters he had been warned about all his life roamed. He finds that living in the forest is much more difficult than he ever could have imagined as he got captured by the Beastmen, held in the leader of their packs captivity, at the will of whatever the beast decided to do with him, though Sky soon found himself attracted to the Alpha of the pack of the beasts in a way he had never felt prior, filled with yearning and lust. And with the rising conflicts brewing between the humans and the Beastmen, Sky must face that resolution would not be such a simple task, and with the tension rising, the humans and beastmen just might cause the destruction of them both.Complete
The Boy with Bad Habits
I began writing this at 15 and finished it at 17. It is my first novel, give me grace for that. [Warning: this book contains explicit content, crude language, drug use & abusive scenarios.] He tried everything, everything, everything to forget her. No matter how hard he fought, the memories wouldn't fade. She wasn't some dream girl, she was the dreamy one who taunted him. A blonde viper that shattered every part of him. But picking up the pieces? That's the part he never thought he'd get around to. Ace Valentino doesn't do what people expect-he's the guy who walks on the wild side just because he wants to. A brooding young man with a dark side fueled by brokenness, addiction, and bad decisions. His heart is still held hostage by his stoic, adrenaline-obsessed ex. How could he move on with that? It isn't plausible. So, he drowns the pain with alcohol and anything that numbs him. But Ace has secrets, ones he vowed to bury forever. Then, his new neighbor moves in and suddenly, something inside him stirs-something he's not ready for, and everything he's terrified of. Willow Andrews, sweet yet scarred, knows nothing but loneliness. Her guardian's abuse has built walls around her big heart. Love is a stranger to her, and she's afraid of what she doesn't understand. But something about Ace, the tortured soul next door, draws her in-despite the fear. In a world where love is something they can't quite reach, Ace and Willow collide. What could possibly come of this? Can they save each other, or will their pasts break them before they have a chance? The line between magic and misery is thinner than they think-and the change they both desperately need might just be the thing that destroys them, or... sets them free.Complete
The Lost
Scary stories of a place called a city are whispered throughout the tribes of the forest. Rumours of great grey forts with monstrous towers, sprawling walls... a place crawling with the monsters everyone so fears. Humans. --- Despite a slightly concerning size difference, Lyn and Lucius are the best of friends that share one common goal: find Lyn's family. A sudden twist in their lives thrusts the two of them into the sprawl of the human city, and achieving that goal suddenly seems impossible. When Lyn and Lucius cross paths with two strange girls, their priorities are tested. These strangers seem to be able to answer Lyn's biggest question: where does she come from? But a pressing problem must be resolved before they can show her. Who is Aspen, and why are these people so desperate to find him? --- This is the continuation to my other story called The Winged. It isn't a direct continuation, but I would recommend reading the other story first to avoid confusion. If you can suffer through it, you can find it on Search or by looking on my account :) Apologies for the incredible time it took me to write this crap. Hopefully you enjoy 🥲Complete
