The Hollow Tree
(The Woven Curse Series) "You say 'simple' like we don't have a history of things going very much not simple," she said, waving towards the forest. She wasn't wrong. But still. I stepped in front of her and held her gaze. "Issy. We're already here. We can't pretend we didn't see it." She glared at me. I glared back. Two idiots. One brain cell. Shared custody. "What if they're evil?" she asked. "Then we leave." "What if they're magical?" "Then we still leave." "What if they're hot?" I raised a brow. She paused. Then she sighed. "Okay, fair point. We should at least look." ༻❁༺ A story about two best friends who somehow end up in a kingdom straight out of their favourite fantasy books. Picture rolling fields of emerald grass, crystal lakes with shimmering springs, and the most breathtaking night sky you've ever seen. There's just one catch - the kingdom is cursed, and those two girls are the only ones who can break it. Oh, and one more thing: they've never been here before, have absolutely no magic, and seem to be attracting all the wrong kinds of attention... particularly from a cold-hearted king and an evil enforcer. Sounds fun, right?
