The woods in Hillsbrook are a scar-thin enough for something ancient to bleed through.
Calista Birdsong has known it all her life, through unexplainable dreams and manic paintings. On each canvas a boy, all from different eras. From different lifetimes. But always the same eyes.
Always him.
Angel Castẽnda has spent the last year pretending he isn't haunted. Not by the woods. Not by the past. Not by the girl who shattered his heart to save him from something she never explained.
But then something crosses through that scar. Something hunting them.
Forced to escape into the Overgrown, a realm of gods, elemental beings, and kingdoms forged during creation, Calista and Angel are forced to reckon with debt they have no knowledge of.
They belong to the Overgrown-even if they don't understand why.
Now the kingdoms grow restless as the mortals fight to restore equilibrium and return home. But is it worth it if the expense of mortality?
Of one another?

I won't die as your villainess.
I woke up as the villainess destined to be ruined. The cold prince? Not interested. The perfect heroine? Not my problem. The family that will abandon me? Already irrelevant. This story expects me to beg, fight, and fall. Too bad I have better plans. While everyone chases love and drama, I'll build power. While they watch for my downfall, I'll prepare my escape. And when they finally realize I've changed- I'll already be gone. I won't die as your villainess.
THE FORGOTTEN MEADOW by Kim Suji
"Every day, I pray. That this love will die. That I may love you only until today, And tomorrow, this love will be no more." Born of an illicit affair, the ill-fated Imperial Princess Talia Roem Gwirta grows up warped in a world that denies her. With indifferent parents, hostile half-siblings, and servants who treat her with contempt, she survives by baring her thorns to anyone who dares approach. Yet before one man, even Talia's defences crumble- That man is Varkas Laedgo Siorcan, the noble heir of the East. As the vassal of the Imperial House and successor to a grand ducal line, he was forced into perfection from birth. Raised under training that bordered on ab*se, his emotions were dulled, leaving him a man who exists solely for family honour and duty. To fulfil a promise made to the late Empress, he becomes betrothed to Talia's elder half-sister, Aila. Shattered by despair, Talia slowly falls apart. But then- Her love, destined only for death, begins to face an unexpected turning point...![The Life of A Villainess [COMPLETED]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/409777201-256-k192102.jpg)
The Life of A Villainess [COMPLETED]
Esmeralda only wanted one thing- To chase after Rael, the crown prince, and hopefully marry him someday. But all that hope fade into nothing when she remembered everything- This world? It's from a novel she read in her past life. And her? Esmeralda Schuan, the villainess who gets dumped, humiliated, and eventually destroyed. No thanks. This time, she's not chasing the crown prince. Not fighting over love. Not ruining her life for a story that isn't worth it. She just wants to enjoy her rich and pampered life. But somehow... The more she tries to step away from the story and save her future- The more she realizes everything isn't what she thought it would be.Complete
