Shadows of the Ashen Vale
50 parts Complete Ashen Vale, shrouded in mist and darkness, was more than an ancient forest-it was alive, breathing, and hungry. Legends whispered of a guardian, bound to its shadowy depths, who could only escape if he found someone willing to share his burden. But those who entered Ashen Vale rarely returned, and those who did never spoke of what they'd seen. Elara Quinn did not know the lore or the danger when she first set foot in her family's forsaken estate, yet a pull she could not explain brought her there. Little did she know, she was walking into a love both terrifying and consuming, bound by fate to a man who was neither entirely human nor free.
