A Dark Forgetting
by Kristen Ciccarelli
No matter how far she runs, the forest always comes for Emeline Lark. She is haunted by its mysterious disappearances and the tales of fae magic lurking in its depths. But when her grandfather goes missing, the stories Emeline has always scoffed at suddenly seem less foolish. She enters the forest she has spent years trying to escape, only to have Hawthorne Fell, a handsome and brooding tithe collector, brutally try to dissuade her from searching, even as a magnetic spark ignites between them. Refusing to be deterred, Emeline finds herself in the court of the fabled Wood King. She makes a deal, her voice for her grandfather's freedom. Little does she know, she's stumbled into a curse that threatens the existence of this eerie world she's now trapped in, as well as the fiery Hawthorne, who she's so helplessly drawn to. In Kristen Ciccarelli's devastatingly romantic fantasy, A Dark Forgetting, everything has a cost, especially love.--
