Roots Deeper Than Silence
A Forbidden Forest Alpha RomanceBy Morenna Vael
Length7h 16m
About this audiobook
For twelve years, advocate Maren Dusk has won every case the same careful way: measured, unthreatening, safe. She learned young that a woman's full conviction gets called unstable, so she buried hers and never once let herself find out what speaking the truth plainly might actually cost her.
Then the Hollowmere Pack hires her to save their sacred grove from a confederation determined to take it. And the moment she arrives, the oldest tree in the territory leans toward her, for reasons no one, including her, can explain.
Alpha Declan Ashcroft has spent three years performing a steadiness he doesn't feel, certain his grieving pack needs a leader who never breaks. He doesn't expect an outside advocate to walk into his territory and undo three years of careful duty in a single week. He doesn't expect to want her, completely, inconveniently, forbidden by every rule that's kept them both safe.
As the boundary war turns into a fight for everything Hollowmere holds sacred, Maren uncovers a magic older than careful language — one that answers only to truth fully spoken, whatever it costs. But saying the true thing means risking the identity that's protected her for twelve years, and falling for an Alpha she was never supposed to have.
Some roots run deeper than the silence that grew over them.
Roots Deeper Than Silence is Book Three of The Unmarked Legacy Series and reads perfectly as a standalone — new pack, new wound, new love story, no prior books required.
The grove is waiting to hear the truth. He's waiting for her to stay. Don't wait to find out if she finally does.
