A spellbinding gothic dark fantasy unfolds as a shunned woman is thrust beyond the mortal realm's forbidden boundary 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 this treacherous place. Maevyth Bronwick understands the dangers of venturing into the misty labyrinth of trees, yet a tragic event propels her past the archway of bones into a realm that is both perilous and enchanting. Here resides the cursed lord of Eidolon, tasked with keeping her hidden from the magehood that seeks her demise in the name of an arcane prophecy. Zevander Rydainn, known as The Scorpion, is the coldest assassin in Aethyria, and he would rather sacrifice his feisty ward to vicious fyredrakes than protect her. However, Maevyth’s blood holds the key to breaking his curse and defeating the lurking evil in Witch Knell. As fate intertwines their lives, Rydainn's growing obsession with the enchanting Maevyth threatens to unravel everything, including himself. This full-length gothic dark fantasy is the first in The Eating Woods duology, ideal for readers who appreciate a plot-heavy, atmospheric narrative with a unique magic system, slow-burn romance, and a hint of horror.

Sequel to Juniper Unraveling. I was fourteen when I was sold to the men in black uniforms. Too young to understand I served a purpose beyond that of the other girls they’d taken. For the greater good. Now, after four years in Calico, I’ve seen more death and suffering than during my days of surviving out in the Deadlands against the threat of Ragers and famine. I didn’t think this world could get any bleaker. Didn’t think it could take any more from me than it already had. Not until I finally learned my purpose. That same day, I walked the dark halls in the bowels of this hell, where the suffering is in silence, and ghosts of the dead whisper through the walls. A place where nightmares are real. A place where I met my Champion—the most revered Alpha in S-Block—locked away in his dark cell. For the greater good. He’s their weapon, their only line of defense against the mistakes of the past: the mutations that could wipe out all of what’s left of us. Me, I’m his whipping girl. His reward for good behavior. And his punishment for acts of defiance.

Decades have passed since our world was decimated by the Dredge. Some say it was an act of God. Others believe the devil himself breached the gates of hell and turned the masses into the mindless infected with an appetite for carnage.Those of us who’ve survived the Calico experiments know the only thing more terrifying than the monsters that seek to ravage what’s left of us, are the men who created them. Ones too capable of hiding their true form, and burying their darkest secrets.Somewhere beneath the facility lies the answers, a cure for our suffering. To reach it, we’ll have to open the haunting tomb, where man’s deadliest mistakes, the most violent mutations, lie trapped within its tunnels, waiting to be set free.Our only hope in surviving them are the very Alphas who were designed to hunt us down. The titans forged by cruelty and pain.Kings of carrion.We taught them to love, and in turn, they vow to protect us. To deliver the cure for humanity’s sake. Except this world doesn’t give without taking, and any chance of saving us will require the greatest sacrifice of all.SERIES Unraveling (Book 1)Calico Descending (Book 2)Kings of Carrion (Book 3)
