A Verdant Vendetta
Why Read This?The one-sentence sell. What do you get for showing up to this book, even when it's hard?
The dual trauma recovery arc is handled with real emotional intelligence, the D&D-inspired adventure is genuinely fun, and the grumpy/sunshine dynamic sings with an autistic FMC who feels authentic rather than tokenized.
Synopsis
A werewolf overwhelmed by obligation. A hermit in crisis, isolated to protect her own heart. And a beast that could devour everything they hold dear. Nikos doesn't mean to run from his people. But ever since he's been brought back to life, no one has quite looked at him the same, and he just needs to breathe. When he stumbles into a skirmish and unearths a much greater threat, he leaps at the chance to run away from his responsibilities a little longer. Juniper has never felt at home in civilisation, only in the heart of the forest. But when her twin brother is taken from their isolated home, and a mysterious stranger appears and offers his help, she has little choice but to accept the additional advantage. Neither is what the other expects, and both know much more about vulnerability and fear than they want to admit. But when they learn the being behind the abductions is none other than a corrupted, magic-eating dragon, both hunters know that only a powerful alliance can bring it down. Problem is, with every moment they spend together, they risk falling into the most terrifying thing of all... intimacy. Nightwalkers of Concord returns with A Verdant Vendetta, a bisexual romantasy set one year after the epilogue of A Crimson Covenant. Can be read as a standalone.
