Helyra never expected her life to change so drastically. When a sudden and deadly attack threatens the fragile peace between humans and the mysterious Nythors, Helyra is offered as a bride to Aelorin, a powerful Nythor prince with dark, enchanting magic, born into a world where shadows bend to his will and night itself answers his call. For years, the Nythors-beings of magic-have lived alongside humans, their peace hard-won after a brutal war. But a celestial event twenty-two years ago changed everything. Now, no Nythor woman can bear children, and their race is towing on the brink of extinction. This unexpected marriage is meant to keep the peace, but it's far from what either of them wanted. Aelorin seems completely uninterested in his bride and harbours a bitter disdain for her kind, that is until he discovers that she might be the key to saving his people from extinction, or worse - the reason for it.

When they force you to feel their power, or either make your life a hellish experience in order to get what they want from you, chances are, you'll do what they tell you to. Bloodthirsty gods. Painful games that force people to fight to the death in order to get a small chance of survival. Love that turns tragic. Mythical beings who are all very much real. And of course, lots and lots of chaos and magic. If this sounds interesting, check this story out. You will meet the Blood Witch, forced to kill for the bloodthirsty gods who have taken her captive. You'll meet the warlocks who are kind, not evil, and all want to protect their friends and family. You'll be faced with the gods of this world, who are all very twisted and demented, a bit more evil than you'd think originally.

The human staff are their toys. Servant's daughter Andromeda Arendt has watched their cruel antics her entire life. From the shadows, she witnessed the humiliation and abuse of her parents, leading to her mother's death and her father's insanity. At twenty-one, she's ready for revenge. In support of the human rebellion, she takes on the task of shooting the Fae Ambassador in the back, but North Winterborn has been warned. He glamours her, tosses her into a flying shifter dogsled and whisks her away to Faerie Hawthrone, the epicenter of Fae power, where she quickly learns that there are worse places for humans to end up in than Mondschein castle, that her parents are not who they said they were, and that perhaps she has a shot at getting them back.

In the quiet, superstitious town of Hollow's End, whispers circulate about a boy who lives deep in the woods-a boy cursed with half the face of a skeleton, feared by all who dare to speak his name. The townspeople warn that the forest is haunted, urging everyone to stay far from its shadowy borders. Lily, a daring 19-year-old who has never believed in old tales, sneaks into the woods one night, driven by her unshakable curiosity. There, she meets Kael, a mysterious and brooding figure whose life has been marred by a curse that forced him into isolation. Kael, now 23, lives alone in a secluded cabin, hiding behind a mask that conceals the skeletal half of his face. To his surprise, Lily isn't frightened by his appearance-she sees past the curse to the man he truly is. As the two grow closer, their bond begins to challenge the very beliefs that have kept Kael isolated for years. But the curse that haunts Kael runs deeper than anyone in the town knows. As Lily delves into the mystery of what really happened to Kael, she discovers that the curse isn't just about his appearance-it's tied to a dark secret that could destroy them both. In The Phantom of the Woods, Lily and Kael must face the unknown together, unearthing the truth behind the curse and testing whether love can break through the barriers of fear and isolation. Their journey leads them into the heart of the forest's darkness, where secrets, danger, and the very essence of Kael's humanity are at stake.
