Thorns and Vellum – Paperback

Clara thought she knew what it meant to survive until she stepped past the grey parish stones and fell into the breathless, untamed heart of the Greyfold.

Abducted by Kaelen, the sovereign lord of the ancient wood, she is stripped of every modern defense, every anxiety, and every illusion of control. Under his devastating, clinical mastery, her surrender is not a loss of self, but an awakening, a brutal, exquisite transmutation of pain and discipline into pure, electric sensation. From the searing heat of the leather to the dizzying vertigo of the high birch rigging, Clara learns the sacred language of the wild.

But as the deep winter locks the forest in frost and rival lords test the boundaries of her obedience, Clara must choose between the ghost of the mortal life she left behind and the absolute, consuming power of claiming her throne at his side.

Sensual, dark, and intoxicatingly dark-romantic, Thorns and Vellum is a story of surrender so absolute it feels like flight.
