As Rita races through the dark, rain-soaked night, her heart pounds with fear, and her breath comes in frantic gasps. She's being pursued by a relentless hunter, his motives shrouded in mystery. Desperation pushes her to the edge of a cliff, and without a second thought, she leaps into the abyss, her only chance of escaping the relentless chase.
Miraculously, she survives the fall, albeit battered and bewildered. In her disoriented state, she stumbles upon an extraordinary school concealed within the depths of the ancient forest. This is no ordinary institution; it's a place of magic, secrets, and unparalleled charm.
Welcomed by the enigmatic Headmaster Monty, Rita is introduced to a tight-knit group of girls: Dominic, the spirited leader; Racheal, the mysterious and perceptive one; Anika, the gentle soul with hidden strength; and Alexa, the witty and mischievous companion. Together, they take Rita under their wing, offering her refuge from the unknown dangers that lurk outside.
Yet, as Rita adapts to her new surroundings, a gnawing feeling of amnesia tugs at her. She knows there's something or someone of the utmost importance that she's forgotten. And as she unravels the mysteries of the school, she discovers that it holds far more than meets the eye. Whispers of magic, ethereal creatures, and a hidden purpose envelope the school, beckoning her to uncover the secrets that lie within.
"Whispers of the Enchanted Forest" is a captivating tale of a girl caught in a web of intrigue and enchantment. Rita's journey through the mysterious school will uncover long-forgotten memories and lead her to an astonishing destiny she never could have imagined.
Far to the north lies a land in black and white. A curse lies upon it, robbing its people of their courage, free will and emotion to lock them in three pendants in the hands of their leaders.
Jolette has lived just south of that land for all thirteen years of her life. But never once has she seen one of its people-until the day a Colorless boy turns up in her village, carrying one of his people's most prized possessions: the pendant of Free Will.
She quickly becomes his friend, but she has barely had time to get to know him and name him Edmian when the Colorless come for him. By sheer luck she and Edmian escape. But her village, with everyone she knows, is captured and taken to the Colorless Land.
Left to their own devices, the two set out to rescue the villagers while outrunning their own pursuers. Aid comes from a secret prince trying to save his own family from the Colorless, as well as his warrior bride. And yet the clock keeps ticking. For the Colorless' magic is slowly destroying the villagers' humanity, and the Colorless People are preparing a war against all the world.
What can two teenagers, a hidden royal, a military commander on leave, an old lady spirit, an elf and a dwarf possibly do against a power on the rise?
And what about the two married women who were captured without their daughter?
But sometimes the smallest individuals can change the course of history...
