About this audiobook

Paranormal Romance — slow burn romance, happily ever after, swoony romance reads. A healer cursed by her own perfectionism must ally with the fire-touched warrior who ruined her family – and learn to trust before her brother turns to stone and a rival within her court steals everything she loves. Paranormal romance meets friends-to-lovers slow burn in a small town where secrets hide behind every ivy-covered wall. Lark Cantle has spent ten years perfecting her healing magic, burying the shame of the night her mother died at her own hands. Every potion she brews, every wound she mends, is a penance for a failure she can never outrun. But when her brother Kael returns from the borderlands with his veins crystallizing into stone, Lark faces an impossible choice: trust the man she blames for her family's ruin, or watch her brother die. That man is Riven Ashwood, the fire-touched warrior who once stood at her side as her closest friend. He left without a word the day her mother fell, and now he's back with a curse burning in his blood and a debt he can never repay. The only cure for Kael lies in the Whisperwood, a sentient forest that feeds on fear and spits out nightmares. To enter, Lark and Riven must work together, but every step through the twisted trees reopens wounds neither can heal with magic. As they navigate the forest's traps, Riven reveals the truth behind his desertion: he was blackmailed by a rival within the Cantle Court, a power-hungry witch who wants Lark's throne. The same rival has been poisoning Kael for months, ensuring he'll turn to stone unless Lark fails. Now Lark faces an impossible choice: forgive the man who broke her heart and risk her court's trust, or let her brother die and lose the last family she has left. With every whispered confession and stolen glance, the slow burn between them reignites. But the rival witch watches from the shadows, and a betrayal lurks closer than Lark imagines. In a small town where everyone knows everyone's secrets, the deadliest lies are the ones you tell yourself. Tropes: Friends-to-lovers slow burn, forced proximity, small-town secrets, public humiliation, one bed, touch-her-and-die warrior, cursed healer, enemies-to-lovers undertones, and a sentient forest that feeds on your deepest shame. *The Cantle Chronicles* continues. If you love immersive world-building, morally gray heroes who grovel, heroines who fight for their own redemption, and twists that gut-punch you, crack open *A Court of Ash and Ivy* today. Then dive straight into the next Cantle story, where a new couple faces a curse that binds them in blood and fire. Perfect for readers who love **Harley Laroux** and **Liv Zander**.
