Overview

For readers who loved A Court of Thorns and Roses, The Priory of the Orange Tree, and Circe. The bloom-wells are dying. The world is turning to dust. And the only person who can stop it has just been handed to the man responsible for killing her home. Lira Vaseth is a grafter - one of the last people alive who can heal the root-networks that keep the world breathing. Captured by the Sunken Parliament and forced to maintain the very wells they stole, she has spent eight months as a prisoner beneath the city of Cael Morath. She trusts no one. She asks for nothing. And she will burn it all down before she kneels. Maren Sorath is the Lord Protector - two hundred years old, verdance-bound, and running out of time. His binding is failing. The wells are collapsing faster than his models predicted. And the sharp-tongued grafter dragged into his study is the only person who has ever challenged everything he believed about saving the world. When a catastrophic discovery reveals that something ancient and agonizing is consuming the root-networks from below, Lira and Maren are forced into an alliance that neither wants and neither can survive alone. But the closer they work, the harder it becomes to ignore what is building between them -- a pull as deep and ungovernable as the verdance itself. He is her captor. She is his conscience. He has centuries of blood on his hands. She has a secret that could unravel everything. And the world is not going to wait for them to figure it out. Tropes readers love: - Enemies to lovers - Age gap (he's 213, she's 23) - Forced proximity - Slow burn that earns every flame - Morally grey hero - Touch her and die - He falls first, he falls harder - Only one bed (in the depths of a dying world) A Wound of Verdance is a standalone dark fantasy romance with high spice and a guaranteed HEA.
