One will risk everything for love.
One will be forced to leave it all behind in fear.
And one will make a desperate fae’s bargain to gain it all back.

The woods have gone silent - are you brave enough to find out why?

The Uncut Jewel
We all fear different things. For me, it’s a haunting worry that no matter what I saw before, I’ll never find magic again. When I walk in the woods at night, I hold my breath, waiting for the silence to show me that hidden world. I would do anything to find it one more time.

The Fading Blossom
I can’t remember when I gave up on love, but at least I always had my best friend. Two halves of the same whole, we stuck together between boys and broken hearts, bad times and good. Buying the old bookstore at the edge of the woods could have been enough, but I’m afraid of being left here alone while she searches for more.

The Gold-Eyed Stranger
As soon as I saw her, I had to have her, no matter the consequences. Even when I realize she will destroy everything, she’s all I can think about.

The Reluctant Fae King
Just one year, they told me. And you’ll be free. It’s been three years now, but I have one move left before the game of war takes over - finding the changeling before they do.

The old bookstore came up for sale at the perfect time, like it was meant to be. But so many silenced stories in one place attract a kind of power that’s usually only found between their pages. Buying the building made us owners of those stories, and opening all those paper mouths created a soundless scream that echoed through the dark woods behind us.
Something heard, and it answered.

Ruby and Rose each have stories to tell, but they’re not for the faint-hearted. Please check the trigger warnings in the front of the book before walking this path into darkness.

The woods have gone silent - are you brave enough to find out why?

Stay sharp and beautiful,
Love, Laurel

This is the first installment in a three-part series, set in the Haret Chronicles world. Although this series references other stories and characters in the Haret Chronicles, those stories are not necessary to read first. Happy magic hunting.
