Elira didn't ask to be the last. She didn't ask to carry the weight of a vanished world on her shoulders. But after the druids were hunted down and forgotten, someone had to stay behind.
The Whisperwood was her home long before it became a myth. She was raised among its trees, taught to listen to the wind, the soil, the things most people stopped hearing long ago. Now, the forest is changing. Growing quiet. Uneasy.
Something is breaking beneath the surface.
With only Thistle a winged companion who's more heart than fury, and Fenrik, a shadow-born panther tied to her by fate, Elira must return to a place she's avoided for years: Ember Hollow. The place where her grandmother made a pact to keep the forest safe a pact that may be unraveling.
The world beyond the trees has forgotten what lives in the dark. But Elira hasn't. And if she doesn't act, everything that still remembers might be lost.
The Forest Remembers is a story about the quiet courage it takes to hold onto what matters, the pain of carrying history alone, and the hope buried in even the darkest roots.

Once Upon a Fairytale
Avoid looking into those golden eyes. One look is enough and you will be lost forever. Once upon a time, beyond the forests and mountains, where the leaves always wore the color of autumn, a girl with great talent grew up, with her mother and father. One day, however, their happiness was stolen by tragedy. Her mother fell ill and death called her to the other side. Nothing was the same anymore. Her father remarried. And in the end, time took him away too. Iris was left alone with her stepmother and stepsister. They made her a maid, a slave. A prisoner of a life she hated. But something deep inside her prevented her from leaving the house she grew up in - her home. There, as a child, she created all the miracles with her mother and wanted to continue doing so, to give joy to those less fortunate. Like when she made a dress for the butcher's wife, whom her husband no longer loved, that made her irresistible to him again. Or when she made a shirt for her best friend Jace that was supposed to protect him from the edge of swords, since he liked to provoke the royal guards. Her little secret. But one day, her peaceful life decides to take a completely different direction and everything goes wrong. She meets a prince. She helps her stepsister win him for herself. And ancient family secrets get involved when a demon she is magically bonded with appears.

A soldier. An orphan. A soul full of quiet regrets. Her only comfort in life? The stories she devoured in secret-especially the ones about loved daughters finally finding a place to belong. But fate had something stranger in store. When she wakes again, it's not her body she returns to-but that of Nej, the veiled, forgotten princess from the last novel she read. Scarred, unloved, and pushed aside-a tragic villainess who had once moved Frida's heart. Now, somehow, Frida is inside her. But it's not just reincarnation. It's inheritance. Nej, it seems, had turned back time-returning to the moment she was scarred by her mother's blade. Too broken to face her past again, she summoned the one soul who had mourned her in silence: Frida.

In the Moonlight
A girl in a white veil, the forest calls her to itself. She will be lost in it forever. A quiet voice, a whisper leads his bride far away. Somewhere there stands an old castle, a cursed prince dwells within its walls. When the full moon rises in the night sky, the monster awakens. The white veil of the bride turns crimson. A story as old as time. Nereyeny ran towards the forest as if her life was at stake. She hesitated for a moment before crossing the line of no return. She looked back at the place where she had grown up, lived, and was supposed to die and lie in the ground there forever. All her life layed there, everything except the one thing she longed for the most. Freedom. "Nereyeny!" They were already looking for her. She couldn't afford to hesitate any longer. She turned on her heel and stepped into the darkness. She knew that no one would dare to chase her there. Only a fool. People were afraid of the cursed forest. Eyes watching your every step. Whispers leading you into the void. Creatures from the depths of hell itself. They say dark forces dwell there, no one who goes in will ever come out. And Nereyeny was proof that it was all a lie, spending almost every day there, running under the treetops like a wild wolf. She didn't believe those tales. About the full moon. About the proud prince. About the curse. Until she too became one of those lost in its bowels. Trapped in the same trap as Prince Astreus, son of the Sun and the Moon. A proud prince, real, made of flesh and blood, who is not at all like she has heard of him. At least the fairy tales are wrong about one thing. And maybe they are wrong about everything. Secrets, pride, the whims of the gods, and maybe even fate itself. A burnt-out faith in breaking the curse. Nereyeny must now find a way out before the next full moon comes and the monster finds her.Complete
Until the Last Memory Fades
Some bonds survive even when the world forgets your name. Elian doesn't remember his past. Not the faces. Not the places. Only the ache that follows him like a shadow too long and too loyal. Wandering through a quiet village tucked beneath floating cliffs, he carries a journal of forgotten lives and sketches he can't explain. He is a man unmoored in time-haunted by visions, by voices in dreams, and by the faint echo of a promise he can no longer name. But Raeven remembers. The dreams. The tree. The brother who always finds him. Even if Elian forgets, Raeven won't let go. In a world where lifetimes fracture and loop, where memory is fragile and love is the only thread that endures, two souls drift ever closer to the truth: They were never meant to be apart. But fate-cruel and unfinished has other plans.Complete
Petals in the Rain
*Chapter One: The Sound of Empty Rooms* The rain had a rhythm that matched the echo in her chest-quiet, repetitive, and endlessly hollow. Elira sat by the window of her grandmother's wooden house, where the walls creaked like ghosts remembering things she tried so hard to forget. Her breath fogged up the glass as she watched the street below-quiet, gray, and soaked. She didn't mind the rain. It was the one thing that stayed. At twenty-two, Elira had never been kissed. Not truly. Not with the kind of kiss that silences thoughts and stirs old wounds into healing. She had known touches-cold, demanding ones from men who mistook her loneliness for permission. She had known eyes-watching, judging, leaving. But love? Real love? That had been the whisper in fairy tales and the ache between the pages of books she'd hide under her pillow. Her mother had left when she was ten. A note on the fridge, a half-packed suitcase, and a phone number that never answered. Her father drowned his grief in silence and whisky until his liver gave up when she was sixteen. After that, silence wasn't just emotional-it was literal. Elira grew up learning that people left. Always. Her greatest fear wasn't being alone-it was being almost loved. Almost chosen. Almost enough. Then she met him. She closed the book on her lap-*entwined in chaos*. Of course it was. She clung to the idea that love should hurt a little, that maybe if she bled enough, someone would see the red and realize she had a heart worth holding. That night, she wrote in her journal: *"If love exists, let it find me. Even if it breaks me."* And it would. So deeply, so completely, that even time would pause to grieve.Complete
Tongue Tied ↬ Edward Cullen.
She arrived in Forks like a whisper, no words, and no sound, just the soft defiance in her eyes and the echo of storms in her silence. Marcie was born deaf and has never spoken a word, but she has always been painfully aware. Her world is built of glances, vibrations, the way people's mouths move when they think she's not watching. Edward Cullen has heard everything; thoughts, lies, secrets but never silence. When Marcie enters the school, her mind is quiet in a way that doesn't merely block him; it absorbs him. Her thoughts are a closed door he cannot open, and in that silence, he finds something he never knew he longed for: peace. She did not flinch from him. She did not fear the hollow behind his golden eyes. She only watched, and in watching, she understood. What began as a curiosity became a hunger, for closeness, for the touch of understanding, for the quiet she wore like a veil. And Edward, who had been alive for a hundred silent years, found himself aching not for her voice, but for the space she held in his silence. The way she made the stillness feel like music. But Marcie carried her own ghosts, unsaid, unheard, yet deeply known. And there is power in silence, especially when the world forgets to fear it. There is love in it, too. In a town always clouded by rain, two impossible souls find one another in the space where sound cannot reach .. And where silence, finally, is seen.
