Of Ivy & Thorns

By Gem C. Rowan

Of Ivy and Thorns

After years away, Rue returns to a crooked cottage at the forest's edge-older, quieter, and carrying the scars of visions no one believed. The world outside has never quite fit her, but the woods... the woods remember.

There, in the hush beneath green boughs, she meets a white being with ram's horns and eyes full of ancient sorrow. Something in him calls to something in her-wild, buried, waiting.

But as their connection deepens, so too does the shadow of the Thorn King-an old hunger rising from the hollow, drawn to break what little peace remains.

To stop him, Rue must surrender to the truth that has always lived inside her: that love, in its purest form, can root deeper than fear-and bloom even through the darkest thorns.

A tale of quiet magic, haunted forests, and the healing power of devotion, Of Ivy & Thorns is a romantic fable for those who've always heard something calling in the trees.
