Where the Dark Stands Still (2024) by A. B. Poranek is a gothic fairytale romance infused with Polish folklore. Liska Radost, raised near a spirit‑wood where magic is feared, accidentally unleashes her powers and flees into the enchanted forest seeking the mythical fern flower to rid herself of magic. Instead, she is captured by the forest’s demon warden, the Leszy, who offers her a bargain: serve him for one year in exchange for her wish.

During her servitude at the Leszy’s decaying manor, Liska uncovers that she is not the first who made such a deal—and all predecessors mysteriously vanished. To survive the year and return home, she must unravel the secrets of the Leszy’s past and confront a deadly ancient force stirring in the woods. Through her journey, A. B. Poranek explores themes of trauma, acceptance, identity, and the blurred lines between monster and human¹.
