The spark and storm by bookskeeper4life

They called her *witch* before they ever saw her power. On the night her village turned to flame, sixteen-year-old **Maya** watched her mother unleash a storm of crystal and fire to save them both. Now hunted and exiled, Maya flees into the forbidden **Blackwood Forest**-a place whispered to be alive, where spirits of light drift between the trees and ancient gods still dream beneath the soil. But something in the forest is watching her. Something old enough to remember her bloodline. And when it speaks her name, the world itself trembles. Bound by prophecy and shadow, Maya must uncover the truth of her family's power-the *Crystalborn*-a lineage once sworn to guard the earth's heart from the darkness below. Yet with every step deeper into the forest, that darkness awakens...and it knows her name. As the boundary between magic and madness thins, Maya will have to decide what she's willing to become to protect what remains of her world. Because some destinies are not chosen. They are awakened.

Whispering Woods by r1bcage_r1bbonz02

In the secluded village of Fernhaven, a foreboding forest looms at the edge of town. The villagers whisper of an ancient curse, claiming the trees have voices that call out to the young, luring them into the darkness. For years, the stories have remained legends-until children start disappearing. When her younger brother vanishes without a trace, 16-year-old Ivy Marlow refuses to believe he's lost forever. Armed with her courage and her brother's favorite charm, she ventures into the cursed woods. What she finds defies all logic-a hidden realm of twisted, sentient trees and ethereal creatures, where time flows unnaturally and the whispers grow louder. Ivy discovers that the forest is ruled by a vengeful spirit, bound by a centuries-old betrayal that has trapped it-and the missing children-within its domain. To save her brother, Ivy must navigate the woods' illusions, solve the riddle of the spirit's curse, and confront her own connection to the forest's dark past. But the deeper Ivy goes, the more she realizes: the woods don't just want her brother. They want her.

Through the Quiet - Jasper Hale by -CrazyLupinBlack

In the quiet town of Forks, Elias Thorn is a mystery-an enigma no one can quite figure out. He's been living in the shadows of the forest for years, a figure who speaks in riddles and walks paths the townspeople dare not follow. His presence unsettles the residents of Forks High, especially the Cullen family. Edward cannot read his mind, Alice cannot foresee his future, and Jasper feels something strange-a calm, but a dangerous calm-radiating from him. While the Cullens try to unravel the puzzle that is Elias, a different kind of connection begins to form between Elias and Jasper. Their bond grows in quiet moments, woven through conversations where words are few, and understanding runs deeper than anything spoken aloud. But Elias is a creature of secrets, and the truth about his origins remains as hidden as the forest itself. As Elias's bond with Jasper deepens, the quiet peace he's built around himself begins to shift. The Cullens may not know his past, but the story of Elias Thorn is far from over.
