Dark Fantasy
The Devil in the Woods by Jessaca Willis
There is something insidious lurking in the forest behind Thimbleton where Ellowyn resides. It has taken half a dozen women in the last year alone, and anyone who dares run after them winds up dead themselves. But when the love of Ellowyn’s life is taken, nothing will stop her from uncovering the truth and reuniting with her dearest Cecily. Even if it means forsaking everything she thought she believed in.
Raven's Bane by Derren Parsons
As the ravens sing a somber warning, a clan without triumph faces a suffocating silence.
When humans threaten to destroy everything he holds dear, Caelen, a raven skin-changer, finds his life thrown into chaos as they hunt his clan one by one to seize the rare and valuable magical materials they possess. Cornered by fate, he is compelled to tread the treacherous path into human lands forbidden to his kind, braving insurmountable odds and forging an unexpected alliance with Leira, the daughter of one of the poachers. But as they work together to save the village, a darker force looms, threatening to destroy everything they hold dear.
The quest that Caelen and Leira have embarked upon transcends a mere battle for survival—it is a crusade to uphold the hallowed essence of the Raven clan, now preyed upon by adversaries craving their mystical energy and vitality. Their alliance, defying age-old rifts that have riven their kind, harbors the potential to carve out a novel destiny for their peoples.
Yet, failure casts its long shadow across their path. Should Caelen and Leira's courage waver, the realm of the raven clan will fall prey to the relentless greed of their foes, shattering the hallowed bonds of kinship amidst the ensuing tumult. With the relentless drumbeats of conflict resounding through the woodland, the fate of two souls—and the continuance of their worlds—dangles precariously on the fragile filament of their determination.
When your savior is your enemy's daughter, every step towards redemption could be a step into the jaws of betrayal.
Raven's Bane is the first installment in the Tales of The Sundering Twilight Series. Designed to be read in any order, these books share common themes and cumulatively build toward a grander overarching adventure.
Touch of Red by Christina Herlyn
Fortunately, no one fits that criterion in her home—not even her mother, Regent Duri. But when her paternal grandmother, Queen Gratia, is bitten by a komoviper, Pyrrha must leave her secluded life and travel the dangers of Griseo Wood to deliver a cure.
Regent Duri’s Hunters patrol Griseo Road, but Wolves rule the wild forest—and they hate all that Pyrrha represents. Though mere men and women, the Wolves still possess a magical connection with Griseo Wood that Regent Duri covets. And now Lykos, Lord of the Wolves, has come by another valuable possession: Pyrrha. Her desire to touch the handsome, vivacious enemy of her mother grows stronger by the day. He will charm her out of her red hood and into a Wolf’s helmet if he can. But mortactios must maintain a life of solitude and detachment, and Lykos needs to respect her cursed skin before tragedy strikes.
In this dark fantasy retelling of Little Red Riding Hood, the red hood warns of her death touch. This time, the big, bad Wolf had better watch out for her.
