Lorraine thought she’d outrun her darkest nightmare when she escaped her ex’s betrayal, but the enchanted forest has other plans. Taken in by Ash, a brooding Drus guardian, Lorraine finds herself caught between anger and desire, fighting the bond that ties her to a realm of ancient magic and whispered secrets.

But Ash’s mysterious past and fierce devotion have their limits, and when the veil between worlds thins on All Hallow’s Eve, Lorraine will face a choice: sever the powerful bond keeping her alive or stay with Ash, risking not only her freedom but the growing passion that defies her resolve.

As desires intensify, can Lorraine break free before the call of the Dryad becomes permanent—or will she surrender to a love that’s both prison and paradise?

Lorraine never imagined her desperate escape would lead her into the arms of a creature from her darkest fantasies. Fleeing a life of terror, she stumbles into an enchanted forest, where the shadows are alive and nothing is as it seems. There, she's rescued by Ash—a powerful dryad with glowing eyes and a body forged from ancient magic.

Ash offers her protection, but his help comes at a price: her freedom in exchange for a bond that ties her to him until the next full moon. As Lorraine's fear gives way to a passion she's never known, she must navigate a world of dark magic and dangerous secrets, all while fighting the growing attraction between them.

Will Lorraine risk her heart and her life for the monster who saved her, or will she be consumed by the darkness?
