The Eating Woods

Anathema (The Eating Woods #1) by Keri Lake

In the shadow of ancient trees, where magic runs as wild and untamed as the forest itself, The Eating Woods series by Keri Lake beckons readers into a world where every whisper of the wind might be hiding something far more sinister.

At the heart of this dark fantasy series lies Maevyth Bronwick, an enchantress cast out by society and drawn into the perilous realm of Witch Knell—an unyielding, haunted forest known as The Eating Woods. Here, the trees have secrets, the ground holds curses, and fate isn’t something you can escape from easily. Maevyth’s journey through this mystical land is fraught with danger, but it’s her connection to Zevander Rydainn, the cursed lord of Eidolon, that truly pulls her into a tangled web of desire, magic, and unavoidable destiny.

The series is a delicate dance between light and shadow. Keri Lake crafts an atmosphere so rich, so tangible, it practically seeps off the pages. The world-building is intricate—every dark corner of The Eating Woods feels like it’s alive with its own mysteries. The slow-burn romance between Maevyth and Zevander is just one layer of a complex narrative, laced with suspense and a sense of lurking dread that leaves you breathless with anticipation.
