One human life each year. That's the deal made between Earth and the fae realm of Ilia, to keep the peace. Katie Montgomery was supposed to be a tribute, but when she's spared as a baby, she's sent across the country for her safety. Years later, after a series of disturbing events in her hometown in Oregon, she returns to her birth town in Maine, opening an apothecary and quickly gaining favor with the locals. But what she doesn't know is that Ilia is still owed a life - particularly hers - and some would go to extraordinary lengths to see it happen, and one would do anything to save her.

In The Hollow Where He Waits
This is a story that delves into the shadowed corners of the human spirit, where fear is a constant companion and strength is a flickering ember waiting to be fanned. It speaks of those who have been broken by life's tempests, yet possess an indomitable will to survive, finding solace not in the comforting glow of familiarity, but in the ethereal presence of a guiding entity - a 'Ghost' - that whispers resilience in the face of despair. It's for the lost souls who navigate the desolate landscapes of their existence, clinging to the faintest hope of a love that can bloom against all odds, a love as untamed and wild as the deepest wilderness. The narrative follows individuals who have learned to converse with the silence, finding their sanctuary not in noisy crowds, but in the hushed intimacy of the unknown. Their deepest connections are not forged in the bright, scrutinizing light of day, but in the potent, intoxicating embrace of what remains hidden, in the quiet battles waged within the soul. It celebrates the strength that lies dormant within, the survival that often goes unseen, acknowledging that even in the most desolate terrains, a profound and fierce love can indeed take root and flourish. The book is an exploration of resilience, a testament to the enduring power of the human heart to seek and find connection, even when shrouded in the deepest of shadows. It's for those who have walked through the whispering woods of their own lives, not just seeking solace, but discovering something far more elemental and profound: the realization that their deepest truths and strongest bonds often bloom in the most unexpected, and sometimes, the most silent of places.Complete
