Bosque

Decades ago, the witch Candena struck a desperate pact with the devil to escape a forest that would not let her go — and lost. Now she lives imprisoned within its borders alongside the family she built in captivity: a daughter, a monstrous son-in-law, and two grandchildren, all sustained by the same dark magic that keeps them trapped.

Their isolated existence is upended when a young couple's forbidden romance draws danger from beyond the trees, exposing the family's secrets and the cruelty at the heart of Candena's curse. Told across a dual timeline that moves between the pact's origin and its consequences decades later, Bosque builds toward a tragedy the family cannot outrun.

A dark fantasy steeped in gothic horror, Bosque combines witchcraft, generational trauma, and folklore-inflected dread with scenes of graphic violence — a novel for readers who want their fairy tales cruel.
