Synopsis

Magic. Monsters. War. A woman’s journey to find herself as she discovers secrets of the past. When thirty-two-year-old Ava Winslow inherits a flower farm from her late grandfather’s estate, she’s determined to uncover the secrets she knew her family was hiding. As she draws closer to the truth, the last thing she expects to find is a portal hidden on the property leading to another world. Desperate to learn what her mother never revealed before her death, Ava is thrust into a magical land of fae on the brink of war. Alone again in a world unfamiliar to her and plagued by the grief that followed her there, she must make a life-altering decision; does she try to find her way back to the farm? Or, does she embrace adventures she only ever dreamt of, and follow a new path that might feel more like home than anywhere ever has? Whispers of the Elderoak contains violence, death and other mature themes. To see a full list of triggers, please refer to the author's website.
