He needed a miracle to survive the deep woods. She just wanted him to stop bleeding on her favorite quilt.
Juniper is a highly practical hedge witch who left the prestigious, suffocating marble halls of the Academy for a quiet life in the dirt. She spends her days curing colicky goats, arguing with carnivorous weeds, and strictly avoiding any magic that cannot be ground in a mortar. Her peaceful isolation is absolute-until a mountain of a man crushes her front gate.
Alder is a former ranger captain carrying a lethal curse, a staggering amount of guilt, and a stolen artifact of immense power. The Sylvan Rot is slowly turning his heart to wood, and his only hope is a mythical cure requiring ingredients found in the most terrifying corners of the uncharted forest. He needs an expert botanist with a death wish. What he gets is a bossy, fiercely competent apothecary who refuses to let him die in her living room.
Bound by a desperate bargain, Juniper and Alder must navigate chiming forests, giant venomous bees, and the suffocating, magical labyrinth of the Crystalline Valley. But the greatest danger they face isn't the ancient magic or the freezing mountain passes; it's the terrifying, undeniable warmth growing between them.
For a man who believes he is a monster and a woman who believes she is a failure, finding the cure is only half the battle. To survive, they will have to strip away their armor, confess their darkest truths, and realize that the most powerful magic in the world might just be trusting someone else to hold your hand in the dark.
The Moss and the Magic is a slow-burn, cozy fantasy romance filled with practical magic, gruff heroes, deeply competent heroines, and a guaranteed happily-ever-after.
