Western Woods

Western Woods appears in A Court of Thorns and Roses.

The Western Woods begin as an ominous, mist-shrouded borderland that separates the mortal realm from Prythian, serving as both a physical barrier and a psychological threshold for those who dare cross it. As the series unfolds, the woods transform from a feared, faerie-haunted wilderness into a strategic corridor of passage and a site of pivotal encounters, reflecting the shifting balance of power between mortals and Fae. By the later books, the Western Woods have become a contested frontier where alliances are forged, betrayals unfold, and the boundaries between worlds blur, underscoring the evolving relationship between the realms.
