Fifty-five-year-old tattoo artist Ronnie Sloane has spent her life on the move, never staying in one city long enough to let permanent roots form. With four weeks remaining before she sells her shop and flies to Lisbon, she makes an impulsive stop at Fated & Co., an enigmatic matchmaking service. She is handed a card with a single name and a strict condition: thirty days of good-faith courtship with Alder, an eight-hundred-year-old lime dryad who physically cannot travel more than two hundred yards from his clearing.
Alder exists at nature's unhurried pace, taking eleven seconds just to reply, forcing the perpetually restless Ronnie to sit still for the first time in her adult life. As the thirty days tick down against her impending departure, Ronnie is confronted with her lifelong habit of making quick exits. Her Dryad Bloom is an atmospheric, slow-burn magical realism romance exploring art, patience, and the courage it takes to choose a love designed to outlive you.
