7 Unlikely Companions.

1 Hidden Prophecy.

The Great Tree of Iris: a place of unmatched healing power for humans. Top scholar Lia Tovar protects the Tree in honor of her dead father, but she has visions of its tragic demise. When Rory Elatha, an elf from the hidden city of Kyrali, arrives seeking experts to save the decaying, sacred sunflower fields, Lia suspects their situations are connected. For once, her books cannot help, and she answers the call.

To save the Tree, Lia must learn to trust six allies:

- A youthful jeweler

- A haunted scholar

- A vibrant secret-keeper

- An inkdelver on a mission

- A wizard seeking a friend

- A dragon looking for home

When they discover one part of a deadly prophecy, Lia, Rory, and their party search desperately for a way to challenge fate. But as more natural disasters arise in their race across the continent, Lia must decide if she can let Rory into her heart, and if that will free or destroy her.

An epic romantic fantasy standalone for adults, The Great Tree of Iris combines a 30-year-old FMC's map-crossing quest with fade-to-black sapphic romance in a queernormative world. Perfect for fans of Samantha Shannon, L.R. Lam, S.A. Chakraborty, Saara El-Arifi, and J.R.R. Tolkien.
