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.

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.
