The Season of Stick and Bone

Erik Weston never expected that returning to his motherโ€™s sleepy Pacific Northwest hometown would thrust him into a war between natureโ€™s wrath and humanityโ€™s greed. Erik hopes to find solace in the routine work at his familyโ€™s lumber mill, but each day spent felling ancient trees deepens his grief, clashing with his reverence for the forests heโ€™s forced to destroy. One fateful night, Erikโ€™s life is upended when he discovers a wounded dryad hiding in the shadows of the millโ€™s back stock, wounded by the brutal machinery of the mill.

As he nurses the dryad back to health, their forbidden bond awakens a passion Erik has long repressed, bestowing up it the name Roman. But this connection triggers a deadly retaliation from nature, unleashing a storm of vengeance upon the town. Now, Erik must choose between the simplicity and comfort found in his new small-town life and the otherworldly love heโ€™s found with Romanโ€”a love that could burn everything to the ground with a simple spark.

The Season of Stick and Bone breaks boundaries with its super fringe take on HEAs – one that will have tears rolling down your face and your heart swelling till the last page.
