Two sisters. One enchanted forest. And a dangerous choice that could destroy kingdoms...

Swept away from her ordinary life, Rose Valrois finds herself in a world full of secrets and forbidden magic. There she meets her new stepsister, the enigmatic Princess Neeve, who will either become her best friend…or her worst enemy.

In the shadows of the magical Darkwood, Rose discovers danger and adventure in her quest to uncover the mysteries surrounding her. When she’s rescued by Thorne, the handsome Dark Elf guardian of the forest, he binds her to the Darkwood and forbids her to speak of its secrets.

But secrets have a way of getting loose, especially when there’s hidden magic involved, and Rose falls deeper into the thorny tangles of her own past.

Ratings and reviews

As a new to me author, I greatly enjoyed the series overall. The world building is great and I loved the journey through the Darkwood with all its mystical creatures even the hobnies. I love the bond that Neeve and Rose create over the course of the series. I also enjoyed that the main focus was on that bond and not just romantic interests even though there was a little. I love the twist of the prophecy. Just goes to show it’s all up to interpretation. All around I enjoyed the series as a whole.
