Heartsgrove, my next adult fantasy, is out in six months—and ARCs are available for request on NetGalley! I’m equal parts terrified and excited for y’all to read it; I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it 🖤
🌿🌿🌿
In the wake of a disastrous scientific expedition, life has gone on for all the surviving members-save for one. Ludwig von Meyer, renowned botanist and victim of a deadly curse, is slowly turning into a tree.
His body grows more alien by the day, and then there’s the matter of the blackouts, which have him waking inside an eerie, blighted grove.
Then, one night, he awakes on the doorstep of the grove’s keeper, a mysterious dryad prince named Alois, who offers a pact. Alois can lift Ludwig’s curse, on one condition: Ludwig must rid the sacred grove of its blight.
With the bargain sealed, Ludwig has only a handful of weeks to solve the mystery of the grove before his curse makes him a permanent part of it . . . and before the handsome dryad who increasingly owns Ludwig’s heart perishes along with his trees.

To celebrate the announcement of Heartsgrove, my next adult fantasy, I’m sharing this gorgeous illustration by @beforeviolets 🖤🌿 I had Arthur Rackham on my moodboard, and Bri delivered on the fairytale vibes, as well as the whimsy and longing. My favorite details are the little eschenfrau hiding in the frame and Ludwig’s branches. :) Please check out Bri’s work - everything they do is incredible!
This piece also has of my favorite quotes from the book, trimmed a little to remove it from context. Ludwig is reflecting on the time he spent in his childhood garden, loving things in nature that people often overlook or fear or revile—things that never judged him as the people around him did. That same, hard-won feeling of acceptance between him and Alois is the heart of this book. Theirs is perhaps my favorite romance I’ve written. I can’t wait for you to meet them! It’s out on March 16 and available for preorder now.
ICYMI: Heartsgrove is A Dark and Drowning Tide companion novel, which we revealed the cover for yesterday! Check out yesterday’s post if you haven’t seen it yet; it’s a stunner. Heartsgrove is about Ludwig von Meyer, a world-weary botanist who has been cursed to turn into a tree. The only one who can break his curse is Alois, a dryad—but only if Ludwig can cure the mysterious blight plaguing Alois’s grove before both their time runs out. Swipe for the full description.

Saw a cute post from @wordsbyde and had too much time on a plane, so: Steal the Heartsgrove protagonists’ looks this Halloween. You can be either a waifish 19th century nobleman or an ailing elven creature :)

With just a little under six months until Heartsgrove is out, I wanted to share this piece by my friend and one of my favorite artists @agavnythepigeon 🖤
One of my favorite things about a nonhuman character is seeing the different ways artists capture them. I adore Agavny’s creative and intricate character designs and am OBSESSED with her take on Alois, a dryad who guards a grove of rowan trees (and of course, Ludwig and his branches). She also included many plants and animals you might find in Bavaria, which is the setting inspiration for this book. 🌿
I can’t wait for y’all to meet these characters!
