In the quiet supernatural town of Stonebrook, Mara Hale-wolf-born and stubborn as hell-has always been more at home with the abandoned animals she shelters than the whispers of fate that trail her bloodline. She doesn't believe in the Moon Goddess's plans. She doesn't need a mate. Then Jude Wells arrives. A nomadic witch with haunted eyes, healing hands, and scars that speak louder than words. He's running from something that burned everything he loved-and into a town that isn't ready to trust him. Especially not with someone like Mara. But the bond between them hums beneath skin and soul. And when a long-buried ritual begins to rise, rewriting the rules of pack and coven alike, Mara and Jude will have to decide: Do they forge their own fate-or let the old gods decide for them? Rooted in dark magic, aching intimacy, and the kind of love that doesn't ask permission, Rootbound is a story about choosing connection over control-and blooming where the world tried to bury you.

Femi's life was always quite chill, even as Satan's daughter. She wasn't the typical evil demon everyone thinks she is. But things are starting to get a lot more hectic and she is finally starting to become a true demon. "Then all I felt was rage. Rage because they were ruining my time with my mates, rage because they were messing up my really peaceful life as Satan's daughter, and rage because they were hurting people around me. All I saw was red, and before I knew it, my horns and tail were sprouting. It hurt like f*cking hell. During that, somehow the ground had started opening up because of me. I didn't know what I was doing but it was happening. There were flames coming from the cracks on the ground, and I recognized them as hellfire. "Hell's nature wants you to use its power," said Dimona, shocked. My eyes widened. Hellfire was extremely deadly. Any living thing that touches it dies. That's why it's only found in the barren parts of Hell as it's too dangerous to have in the actual Hell city. I calmly collected my thoughts and agreed. I had nothing to lose. I wanted to put an end to this madness. The flames rose even higher and before I knew it, they were hurling towards me."
