Heartsgrove
Botanist Ludwig von Meyer is slowly turning into a tree after a disastrous expedition. A dryad prince offers to break the curse if Ludwig can save his dying grove, leaving both men dependent on an increasingly urgent bargain. This queer folkloric romance returns to the world of A Dark and Drowning Tide, but tells a standalone story about damaged bodies, difficult trust and the work of keeping something alive.
