At Woods Edge
Of The Trees #2
Written by E. M. Fitch
Released: March 27th 2018
It’s only a matter of time before he gets what he’s come for.
Cassie Harris has turned her back on best friend Laney Blake. She had no other choice. Laney is one of them now, a creature of the trees. As Cassie’s senior year wears on, the woods grow quiet, snow blankets the ground, and the murderous beings who once taunted her have drifted away like the brittle leaves of Fall. Though the woods no longer stir with rushed whispers and wind-blown laughter, the fear remains.
No one understands this fear better than Cassie. She wishes she could tell them not to worry. After all, the shape-shifting men of the trees and the women who travel with them, seeking out girls to abduct from carnivals, are gone. And the one that stayed behind? He isn’t interested in anyone but her.
Now, Aidan’s interest in Cassie is a chilling reminder of the what lurks at woods edge. He stalks her home, her school, her bedroom. He won’t stop until he can find a way to lure Cassie into the forest to become one with him forever.
Dear Reader (a note to your readers)
Dear Reader,
So you’ve decided to join me in the woods, hmm? Are you sure you know what you are doing? It’s not safe, not at all, and yet I’m taking you there anyway. We’ll travel together, you and I, down the secret pathways of the forest. And we will come out alive (well, most of us will). And we will see things that can’t be unseen. Are you sure you’re ready?
Yeah?
Too late, we’re going anyway.
Now hold on tight, because all is not what it seems. But here’s what I want you to focus on: what would you risk for the promise of safety? If I swore you’d be safe, but you’d have to hide away for that to happen, would you run and hide? What if I promised that all your friends and family would survive to the conclusion of the story, but you’d have to give up on your dreams in order to make that happen, would you? If I ensured you that all would be well, but only if you gave up everything you love, everything you are, is it worth it? And even if you agree, can safety ever be guaranteed? I wonder.
Cassie Harris isn’t sure, but she’s about to find out. So will you, if you follow in her footsteps through the restless forest. The answer is waiting for you just beyond that first tree at woods edge.
Yours most sincerely,
E.M. Fitch
