The Sorceress of the Bone Grove

Long ago, Zouria carved out her heart and offered it to the Grove to survive. Now, no one threatens Zouria or they risk being transformed into one of her trees.

One day, a man arrives, armed with a protection charm. Unable to harm him, Zouria makes him a bargain—she will release his son from his entrapment and take the man instead. But as their lives become entwined, feelings stir within her, feelings she thought she’d cut out long ago.

As threats arrive from the sorcerer who bestowed Glen's protection charm, Zouria must uncover the sorcerer's motive in helping Glen. But those pesky feelings keep arising forcing her to confront the memories of her past that she has been suppressing. Will Zouria find it within herself to open her heart again, knowing it also makes her vulnerable to the bitter cost of betrayal?
