Taken by the Wisps: A Cozy Fantasy Monster Romance (Across the Veil of Monsters)

It was just supposed to be a hiking trip...

Yera doesn't believe in magic. She believes in trail maps, emergency protocols, and the calming power of a really detailed plan.

None of that helps when a storm comes, bringing with it something unexplainable, which is inconvenient when you function solely off lists and organization.

One ill-advised dip in a mountain spring later, she's been fished out by a six-foot-something forest guardian with all-black eyes, no language, and absolutely no idea what to do with a human—but he's a fast learner. Between dodging harpies with opinions, orcs who prefer pottery over battle, and trying not to fall for the only creature in this realm who can read her mind (rude), Yera has bigger problems than her mounting anxiety.

Like the fact that her best friends are missing. And something out here wanted them taken on purpose.

Taken by the Wisps is a medium-spice portal fantasy about anxious overthinkers, found family, and falling in love with someone who's never known love or touch. Expect monsters, mind-reading, mild chaos, and a hero who thinks jeans are the single greatest invention of any realm.

Content Warning: This book includes mentions of childhood trauma off-page and minimal. It also includes anxiety, light gore, consensual sex, and drinking.
