Hunted by her own coven for forbidden blood magic, Evira stumbles into wolf shifter territory, and kills one by accident. Now Alpha Wren wants her head. Savage. Unforgiving. A ruler who crushes threats without a second thought. Her only play: spell him into believing she's his fated mate. His eyes lock on hers, pupils blown wide. He growls the claim before his stunned pack, the throne now hers amid snarls and barely veiled threats. But survival turns reckless. Nights spark real fire. The fake bond starts feeling true, guilt warring with hunger she never planned. Deception this deep never stays buried.

The sacrificial man, must be handsome, must have his wits together and most of all, must have long legs to escape her wrath when necessary. For she is the most feared witch of the forest. She yields power beyond imagination. The land alters according to her moods, the skies brighten when she laughs and the ocean waves rise to her furry. The town's folk knew her like an age old tale, knew what kept her happy, so each year a grand fest would be organized to honour her. Each year a man would kneel his life for her whims, till one accidental rainfall a blind man stumbles into her deep cavern. Changing his and the town's fate forever.

For years, Rivka has survived alone in the forest. The trees shelter her. The rivers feed her. The woods whisper warnings when danger nears. Hidden beneath the canopy, she has spent years avoiding the horrors of the outside world-and the immortal tyrant responsible for destroying it. Malka. The king killer. The village burner. The man who cannot die. When Rivka begins following him through the wilderness, she expects bloodshed. She does not expect *something worse.* A creature born of shadow and smoke descends from the dark and kills Malka like he was never more than prey. Ancient. Violent. Inhuman. And somehow... it knows Rivka is there. After that night, strange black marks begin spreading across her skin, the forest no longer feels like home, and the creature haunting the woods seems intent on finding her again. Pulled back into a world she no longer understands, Rivka quickly realizes the old gods may not be as dead as the kingdoms believe. And one of them is watching her. Closely. *God of Root and Rot* is a dark fantasy horror romance filled with ancient magic, witchcraft, obsession, corrupted gods, feral forests, and slow-burning tension. Perfect for readers who love monstrous love interests, eerie folklore, morally gray characters, and romance wrapped in rot and ruin.
