Mistress of the Woods is a dark romantasy novel of forbidden magic, the violent beauty of nature, and love as dangerous as ivy around a throat.

The Dryad Queen is no fragile forest spirit. She is the eternal guardian of the woodland, as old as the stars, a creature of strangling vines, merciless heart, and a wild desire. She is a lover and a killer, terrifying in her devotion to her realm. But when the brutal beastmen spill into the woods and trample the sacred groves, the Dryad must do the unthinkable: trust a weary mortal knight who trespassed where no one should.

And as they fight together between blood and flowers, something blooms. Something older than war awakens between them, more dangerous than the forest itself: love.

Mistress of the Woods is a lush, sensual fantasy, a story of mortal defiance, immortal desire, and the ancient darkness that watches between the trees.
