'Where the Dark Stands Still is a triumph; a deeply romantic debut with spiralling, atmospheric prose that swept me up and away to the enchanted forests of Polish folklore. You'll never want to leave this beautiful, magical world'. Sarah Underwood, NYT Bestselling Author of Lies We Sing to the Sea
A sweeping gothic fairytale romance for fans of Belladonna by Adalyn Grace and Gallant by V.E. Schwab.
Raised in a small village near the spirit-wood, Liska Radost knows that Magic is monstrous, and its practitioners, monsters.
After Liska unleashes her own powers with devastating consequences, she is caught by the demon warden of the wood - the Leszy - who offers her a bargain: one year of servitude in exchange for a wish.
Whisked away to his crumbling manor, Liska makes an unsettling discovery: she is not the first person to strike this bargain and all of her predecessors have mysteriously vanished. If Liska wants to survive the year and return home, she must unravel her host's spool of secrets and face the ghosts of his past.
Those who enter the wood do not always return . . .
'Treading a tender line between unnerving and enchanting, Poranek's writing is lyrical and atmospheric. With a beautiful grumpy/sunshine romance, Where The Dark Stands Still is a poignant and magical tale' Bea Fitzgerald, bestselling author of Girl, Goddess, Queen
'An enchanting spell of a read, woven through with petal-soft romance and roots-deep self-acceptance. The dark, gothic fairy tale of my dreams' Kika Hatzopoulou, author of the Sunday Times Bestseller Threads that Bind
'Folkloric and beautiful, Where The Dark Stands Still invites you to stray from the safe paths into a darkly whimsical fairytale forest, where secrets and bargains lead to tentative hope' Lyndall Clipstone, author of Unholy Terrors and the World at the Lake's Edge duology.

Howl's Moving Castle meets Polish folklore
Howl's Moving Castle meets Polish folklore A sentient Manor in an enchanted forest, with a mysterious and intriguing master, a girl with magical abilities on the journey to find her place in this world, and loads of fascinating (sometimes terrifying) mythical creatures roaming through the forest and it’s surrounding villages. You definitely can’t tell this is a debut novel! The writing is absolutely beautiful, the story touching and personal, and the found family trope is executed to perfection. From page one you get sucked into this fairy tale world and you can feel all the love that was put into this. This fairy tale ensnared me from the beginning to the very end!!! -

Perfect for the darker months
A wonderfully dark, gothic fantasy for everyone who loved dark fairytales as a child. With elements from polish folklore, Poranek spins a compelling dark tale about a girl raised to hate her magic, a dark entity ruling over the forest, love, betrayal and fate – an absolute must-read for fantasy and mythology fans! -

A mysterious (darker) fairytale that leaves you quite whimsical
This standalone romantasy presents a mysterious and captivating story full of (darker) magic. Liska, a young girl with magic at her hands flees her village in order to reach her most important goal: getting rid of that magic. But when she stumbles across a mysterious manor with an even more mysterious owner, she learns more about magic - and herself. Suddenly, everything that she has ever known gets turned upside down and a magical world opens itself up to her that ultimately provides her with a chance to save them all. I really enjoyed the fairytale vibes that accompanied me while reading, and the ficitional world that opened itself up to me left me feeling quite whimsical. -

I loved every second of this book...
A beautiful fantasy novel with a hint of romance and ideas from slavic folklore. I loved the whole concept and storytelling of this book! The characters are deep and lovable, with dark traits and gracious hearts. The language is fluent yet poetic at times and I felt right at home in that dark, mysterious wood full of monsters. A stand alone novel and Top 10 candidate for 2024!
