Once, we’d worshipped them as Gods.
For nearly 400 years, the Veil has protected us from the Fae of Alfheimr. In their absence, our lives have shifted from decadence and sin to survival and virtue under the guidance of the New Gods. I’ve spent my entire life tending to the gardens next to the boundary between our worlds, drawn to the shimmering magic like a moth to the flame.
Then, we died on their swords.
All of that changes the day the Veil shatters, unleashing the fae upon our world once again. The magic of faerie marks those of us they mean to take, but the Mist Guard protecting Nothrek will kill us all before they let the fae have us. There’s no choice but to flee everything I’ve ever known, not if I want to live to see my twenty-first birthday as a free woman.
Now, they’ll claim what’s theirs.
But before they capture me, Caelum saves me from the Wild Hunt. Fae-marked and on the run, he is able to fight back in ways I only dream of. From tentative alliance to all-consuming passion, our bond strengthens as the fae close in and evil lurks ever nearer. With my life on the line, he is everything I shouldn’t dare to want and a distraction I can’t afford. I can’t seem to stay away, not even with something greater on the line.
My heart.

Read full series description
At the heart of Of Flesh & Bone is a world on the brink of collapse, where a dangerous magic threatens to consume everything in its path. The characters who navigate this treacherous landscape are no strangers to pain and sacrifice. Whether it's a powerful ruler bound by secrets, a reluctant hero caught between loyalty and love, or a dark force determined to rise, every character's journey is fraught with tension, mystery, and emotional depth.
The world-building is both vast and intimate, blending brutal battles with tender, often dangerous, relationships. Magic is no mere tool here—it's a living, breathing force, one that twists and turns, leaving scars on both body and soul. Every choice ripples outward, pushing characters to the edge of their humanity. And in a world where flesh and bone are often the least valuable commodities, survival isn't guaranteed.
Through this series, Woods explores themes of trust, betrayal, and redemption, all set against a backdrop of high-stakes fantasy that grips the reader's heart from the very first page. The romance is dark and complicated, a perfect reflection of the series’ atmosphere: raw, passionate, and sometimes perilous. But beyond the allure of forbidden love lies a deeper, more dangerous game—the struggle for power, freedom, and survival in a world where nothing is ever truly what it seems.
In Of Flesh & Bone, every page is a delicate dance of light and shadow, where every twist pulls you deeper into a world that's as enchanting as it is perilous. The stakes are high, the stakes are personal, and with every revelation, the world and its characters are irrevocably changed. If you crave a story where magic and danger collide in breathtaking ways, Of Flesh & Bone promises to leave you entranced and eager for more.
