Records of the Forest (Completed) by Laura-Laines

Rowan Irvine had always been told she was childish. Her room was lined with stuffed animals and drawn-on walls. But the summer of her senior year Rowan's parents decide to move to a "sweet little town in the middle of nowhere". With a town, new home, and no friends she thought she'd have to leave her childish ways behind and grow up. Be helpful, no more made up creatures or stories or adventures. But "middle of nowhere" meant by an enormous, looming forest. And "sweet" meant the town held more secrets than it's residents. And "no more stories" meant Rowan was about to become part of a story more dark and dangerous than she could have ever imagined. Perhaps more than she ever wanted to imagine.

Marked by Fae (The Fae Chronicles Prequel) by VLindWrites

They say nothing bad has ever come from reading a book. I guess it depends on the book... Thunderbird Academy is the perfect place for me. Brilliant academically and extraordinary magically, it's where I need to be in order to earn my place on the Council as a Watcher. Yet, before I know it, I'm thrust into a magical war I want no part in. My magic holds a key to Ancient spells and when I discover a book that unlocks powers within me that can make or break all of Faery, things just get worse. Hunted by all of Faery, I have no choice but go into hiding. With time running out, I hope my luck changes because more than anything, I want to stay alive. Learn how Avery discovered her unimaginable powers in this thrilling prequel novella to The Fae Chronicles, full of magic and adventure. Thunderbird Academy and the Faery realm await!

The locals had warned me that no one in their right mind would enter the North Woods alone, not unless they had a death wish. It's a good thing then that I am not in my right mind. Fear had prevented me from returning to this place for years, but the nightmares depriving me of sleep threatened to steal what little sanity I had left, leaving me with no other choice than to confront the source of my apprehension. I was tired of pretending that everything was ok. That I was ok. I needed the nightmares to stop. But in order for that to happen, I needed to uncover my lost memories. The North Woods held answers, of that much I was certain. So here I stand, ready to face my past. If only I could get my legs to move. **FIRST DRAFT - UNEDITED **

Avery had lived alone in the Cabin her entire life; she just didn't know how long that was. Her only comfort: an enchanted library giving her a window to the world outside. Sapiens rule that world, using their superior bodies and magical skills to built elaborate cities and live forever. But outside the cities faunids, the savage cousins of sapiens, roam the wilderness following only instinct and the laws of nature. When a winged warrior literally falls out of the sky, Avery puts prejudice aside to save both their lives. She is thrust into a world ruled by magic and might and discovers that humans are on the brink of extinction. Though Avery tries to find her place in the world, she can't quite shake the demons of her past. Why was she trapped in the Cabin? Who cast the spell? Was it to protect her from the world, or to protect the world from her?

An ornis, a winged but dangerous kind, is held captive by wizards after the great war had ended between the 4 kingdoms. Acacia Bobusic got hit after she tried to look for her parents on the battlefield. She ended up locked in a cage with chains around her wrists, doing work as a study subject for Defence Against the Dark Arts. Hate has filled her body through the years she had been kept prisoner, surely to a black-haired man named Severus Snape, the one who had shot her down. Everything starts to change once a helpful person shows up and gives her the courage to find her way back home, back to her kingdom.

Avery was pretty sure she had her life somewhat together by the time she reached Sixth form but as luck would have it. She did not. Especially not after hitting the new girl in her class with a netball to the face. Soon she finds out this new girl, isn't as new as she once thought and in fact, they have more history than meets the eye.

She had always been in love with Draco. Something just didn't feel right. Olivia always saw the best in him. It was peace meeting chaos for the first time. But Olivia was sure that things were spiraling. Can she save herself before she gets lost in the chaos? Or will she blink twice?

Avery Dunning. She's tried to live life under the radar and for all too good reason. She knows what's out there. She's seen the things that hid behind the shadows, ran deep in the woods and pulled men in spellbound. She's learned to keep her distance and pretend the world wasn't more than what is seemed. Keep to the rules, and she'll be safe. But Avery has her own secrets to keep. Just as wicked and dark as the monsters around her, her secret slowly starts to unravel her world. With hell on her tail no one is safe, especially Avery Dunning. Monsters and madness knocking on her door, which one will be the death of her.

Avery has to escape her past, but she's not letting go of her old habits. She doesnt behave, she let's others use her and she uses them, she manipulates people, she gets in trouble, she craves attention, she drinks and uses drugs, she has trouble living with herself. She want's love. But the second she feels it, everything caves back in. Part 1 Fragile Part 2 Shattered

In the enchanted Whispering Woods, young Elara embarks on a journey to break a curse that has trapped spirits in darkness. As she navigates the eerie forest filled with haunting whispers and deceptive trials, she discovers her own inner strength and the power of the light within her. Guided by memories of her loved ones and the wisdom of a mystical vision, Elara confronts the Heartwood, the source of the forest's magic, and frees the trapped spirits. Transformed by her experience, she returns home with newfound courage and a deeper understanding of hope and resilience, forever connected to the magic of the forest.
