Complete planning package, 175 pages: the premise, a full codex, every chapter outlined, an AI prompt for every chapter, and the whole launch kit — listing, blurb, keywords, posts, newsletter, reader magnet — already written. One buyer only. When it’s claimed, it’s gone.

Isolde Vael is Fenwick's Crossing's healer's assistant — the one who stays up through fevers, who grinds the medicines, who quietly becomes indispensable so no one has to notice she's also alone. When the decade's tithe comes due and her village needs a body to send into the Hollow Wood, she steps forward before she finishes deciding to. She brings a healer's kit, a knife in her boot, and the practical certainty that her life is worth less than a pregnant woman's. She is not expecting to survive the night.

She is not expecting the god inside the Wood to look at her like she's the thing he's been waiting for.

Thorn — ancient, antlered, sovereign of a forest that is also his body — hasn't claimed anyone in three hundred years. The moment Isolde crosses his border, the Wood recognizes her and what the Wood knows, he cannot unknow. She is not the tithe. She is something else entirely. And the blight destroying her village was never his doing.

Before she can find a way out — or decide whether she wants one — there's the path that presents itself when she's lost and the unmistakable sense that it was placed there deliberately, the god who confirms her suspicions about the blight with a single word and then goes silent while she works out what that means, late evenings in the habitation where his answers get longer and his questions start appearing, her hand in his through a part of the Wood that requires contact to navigate and the two extra steps she takes before she lets go, the accumulated objects of three centuries on his shelves that she examines like a patient's history, and the moment she talks to the trees when she believes no one is listening — and finds his footprints in the moss the next morning.

She has spent twenty-four years making herself so useful that no one would notice she was also alone. He has spent three hundred years deciding that nothing mortal was worth the cost of losing it, and calling that wisdom instead of grief. A god who is also a forest is about to discover he has been starving his own cycle. A woman who walked in armed is about to discover she was never as expendable as she believed.

But the blight was manufactured — a trap thirty years in the making, aimed at something Isolde carries. And it's running out of patience.

Dark, lush, and quietly devastating. The kind of book where the monster turns out to be the safest place she's ever been, and leaving it is the bravest thing she ever does.
