Anathema by Keri Lake

The Eating Woods · Book 1 of 2

”Only the banished know what lies beyond the woods.”

Maevyth Bronwick knows the rules. No one enters Witch Knell – the forest the villagers call The Eating Woods – because what’s taken is never returned. Only the banished dare approach its archway of bones.

But tragedy doesn’t ask permission. Forced beyond the forbidden boundary. Into a world of cursed souls and grotesque creatures. Into the dark realm of Eidolon.

And into the hands of Zevander Rydainn. Cold-blooded. Cursed. Tasked with keeping her alive – because her blood alone can break what was done to him. But protection and obsession are dangerous bedfellows, and Zevander’s growing fixation on Maevyth threatens to unravel everything.

Including himself.

”Keri Lake has done it again. The world-building alone is worth every page.”
”Zevander broke me. I am not okay. 5 stars.”
”The gothic atmosphere is unmatched. Dark, lush, and completely addictive.”
