A spellbinding gothic dark fantasy follows a shunned woman forced into a terrifying world of cursed souls and grotesque creatures. Whispers surround Witch Knell, the forest where sinners go to die, known as The Eating Woods, where what’s taken is never returned. Only the banished dare approach it. Maevyth Bronwick knows the dangers but is compelled to breach the misty labyrinth of trees, crossing into a dark and fantastical realm that is both perilous and enticing. In this world resides the cursed lord of Eidolon, tasked with keeping her hidden from the magehood that seeks her demise due to an arcane prophecy. Zevander Rydainn, known as The Scorpion, is the most ruthless assassin in Aethyria, and he would rather abandon his feisty ward to danger than protect her. Yet, Maevyth’s blood holds the key to breaking his curse and vanquishing the evil lurking in Witch Knell. As fate intertwines their destinies, Rydainn's growing obsession with Maevyth threatens to unravel everything, including his own existence. This full-length gothic dark fantasy is the first in The Eating Woods duology, ideal for readers who appreciate a plot-heavy, atmospheric tale featuring a unique magic system, slow-burn romance, and elements of horror.
