Magical Realism : top book in the genre

Elliot Carter is used to being obeyed and pleased in every aspect of his life. A tyrant, selfish, arrogant, and powerful, he doesn’t notice the moment when his life suddenly, inexplicably, and strangely becomes intertwined with that of a woman who embodies everything he detests in a person. Andromeda Allister holds a dark secret behind that warm and sweet smile. A secret she intends to keep guarded, even if it means marrying the man who despises her for the color of her skin. However, fate has acted inevitably, and that secret may not belong to her alone.

Pansy is a skilled oddity hunter. But even hunters like her need a place to rest from the endless winter and prepare for the new hunting season. Pansy dreams of living in a wooden house made of smooth, fragrant logs, with a high porch and clean, honey-colored floors and walls. She wants to warm herself by the fireplace in bad weather, breathe in the scent of cherry wood and dry herbs, and read a book while lying on a soft furry rug. In order to earn money, she takes on a dangerous task and sets off for the Black Forest in search of a viders — a legendary oddity that no one has seen for several generations. This is how the story begins. #strong heroine #severe trials #tenderness and love #family #secrets from the past #author's world #creepy tales
