Samantha King: The Whispering Woods

Previously

Elias returned her smile, a genuine warmth spreading across his face. "Then perhaps," he said, his eyes holding hers, "we can figure it out together." The moonlight cast long shadows around them, the Whispering Woods silent and watchful behind Samantha's cottage. The adventure, she knew, had just begun.
