The Willows - A Masterpiece of...

Algernon Blackwood

Nature is not merely wild; it is watching, waiting, and relentlessly hungry.

When two friends embark on a scenic canoe trip down the remote, untamed reaches of the Danube River, they expect a peaceful communion with the elements. But after pitching their tent on a shifting, desolate island overgrown with countless, swaying willow bushes, an uncanny dread takes hold. The river is violently rising, the wind howls like a living beast, and their fragile camp is besieged by unseen, gigantic forces. Slowly, they realize they have trespassed into an alien domain—a thin veil between worlds where unfathomable cosmic entities demand a dreadful sacrifice. Trapped and stalked by impossible, psychological phenomena, they must fight not only for their survival, but for their sanity.

The Wise One

K.T. Anglehart

A prophecy long buried.
An enemy rising in silence.
And a young witch reborn to stand against her fate.
Mckenna's never thought much of her nightmares, but on her seventeenth birthday, a vivid dream of burning at the stake awakens her dormant abilities, thrusting her into a world where faeries are real, spirits hold a grudge, and a High Priestess obsessed with a 16th-century prophecy is tracking her every move.
Now, her overprotective dads, Seán and Andre, are forced to tell her the truth—they know who her birth mother is, and her life is not the surrogate story she's always been told. Abigail, Mckenna's mom, is some sort of mystic, and Mckenna a Wise One.
Whatever the hell that means.
With the help of a persistent little wren and company of a newfound friend, Mckenna journeys to Ireland in search of her mother and real answers. Along the way, she learns to harness her innate magic and trust her intuition, as best she can anyway—Cillian, a kind and passionate delegate who crosses her path, is proving much harder to read.
Only her mother could truly help her halt her ill fate and prepare her for what's to come . . . before she gives in to the darkness she knows is buried deep within.
