The Willowfen Hollow

By Samantha Jayne Young

After the death of her grandmother, Elowen Vale returns to Willowfen, the village she left behind years ago and never intended to call home again.

What begins as a funeral soon becomes something far stranger.

Hidden among her grandmother's belongings are journals filled with warnings, symbols, and records that should not exist. As Elowen begins uncovering the secrets Maeve spent a lifetime protecting, she discovers that Willowfen's history is built upon omissions, forgotten names, and stories that were never meant to survive.

When a local child vanishes near the ancient woods surrounding the village, Elowen is drawn towards a hidden path known only in folklore. Beyond it lies a mystery older than the village itself, one that reaches back through generations and is far more dangerous than anyone has ever admitted.

As buried histories begin to surface and impossible truths emerge from the shadows, Elowen finds herself at the centre of an ancient legacy she never knew existed. The deeper she digs, the more she realises that some secrets were not hidden to protect the living.

They were hidden to conceal what waits beneath.

Atmospheric, haunting and steeped in folklore, Willowfen Hollow is the first book in The Willowfen Cycle, a dark fantasy mystery filled with buried secrets, ancient legends, family legacies and the unsettling truth that some stories refuse to stay forgotten.
