Everwood: The Everwood Chronicles
She can taste a lie before it's spoken. He's made of nothing but them.
Luna Everwood has spent her whole life reading the world through feeling. As a forest Guardian, she tastes emotion the way others hear sound: grief like ash on the tongue, joy like honeyed rain. It's how she protects the ancient seams that keep her enchanted home alive.
Then the seams start dying. Atlas, the industrial power stripping magic from the world and selling it by the crate, has found her forest. And the only way to stop the harvest is to walk straight into the machine.
The city on the other side doesn't taste like anything. That's the problem. Magic here isn't sacred, it's inventory. Everything Luna has ever trusted about her gift goes quiet the moment she crosses over, except for him.
Thorn was built by the corporation Luna needs to destroy. A tracker with a past he doesn't talk about and a leash he's stopped fighting, he's supposed to bring her in. Instead, she's the first thing in years he can't stop feeling something about, and for a man raised to have no feelings at all, that's a death sentence for them both.
As Luna and Thorn dig into a conspiracy that reaches farther than either of them imagined, the line between the hunter and the hunted keeps blurring. Every seam Atlas harvests brings two worlds closer to collapsing into each other. Every hour Luna spends with Thorn brings her closer to a choice no Guardian has ever been allowed to make.
Save her forest. Save him. She's starting to think she can't do both.
Everwood is a slow-burn paranormal fantasy romance of forbidden bonds, corporate conspiracy, and a love neither world was built to survive. Perfect for readers who love found family, morally gray protectors, and a romance that costs something.
