The forest is a dangerous place, where siren song lures men and women to their deaths. For centuries, a witch has harvested souls to feed the heartless tree, using its power to grow her domain.
When Owen Merrick is lured into the witch’s wood, one of her tree-siren daughters, Seren, saves his life instead of ending it. Every night, he climbs over the garden wall to see her, and every night her longing to become human deepens. But a shift in the stars foretells a dangerous curse, and Seren’s quest to become human will lead them into an ancient war raging between the witch and the king who is trying to stop her.
Epic, heartbreaking, and darkly atmospheric, Into the Heartless Wood is the story of impossible love between a monstrous tree siren and a boy who lives at the edge of her wood.
”I was born a tree. It was easier, then. All I needed was the earth, and the wind, and the rain. All I needed was the sunlight warm in my dappled leaves.”

You and me both, for real. I’ve read Catherine House and it had fantastic gothic vibes but not a lot of people liked it. I on the other hand, loved it!

I don’t blame you there. With the way the world currently is, there’s no time to jump out of that zone

Idk if it has anything to do with that! I feel like I just figured out what I really enjoy. I used to read all different kinds of genres. But now I know that I enjoy epic fantasy the most, so I’ve been reading a lot of that. I don’t know though, I do miss having more variety sometimes!
