Wraith’s Forest
By L.J. Leger
Every twenty-five years a group of
young women are chosen to harvest the Tree of Providence, this time as a young
woman, Jenna, is harvesting she holds resentment in her heart for having been selected in doing so she has
condemned the harvest which in turn can cause famine and death to the rest of
the villagers. There is only one way to heal the fruit, she must appeal to the
Wraith who stalks the forest around the village if she can persuade him to let
her have his magical blade she will be able to undo what has been done. The
Wraith agrees on one condition, she must spend a week with him.
L.J. Leger does a wonderful job in
her retelling of Beauty and the Beast, I only wish it was a full novel I want
more of this story! Even though it is roughly fifty pages the author manages to
pull us into the story and brings the story to life with the descriptions of
the house in which the wraith lives and even the description of Jenna but I
wish she had gone into more details of what the wraith looked like under his cloak
and why the villagers had gone insane from their encounters with him. All in
all it is an interesting short story.
