About this audiobook
What if the oldest thing you ever touched touched you back?
When Iris Calder, freshly graduated, broke, and spectacularly unimpressed with adulthood, lets her best friend drag her on a ziplining tour through the redwoods, the last thing she expects is... a conversation. With a tree.
Not just any tree - Thalen, a thousand-year-old spirit who's on the verge of becoming something more. He's ancient, ethereal, and, he also blurts out phrases that sound like Shakespeare got stuck in a forest for a millennium.
Iris should laugh it off. She should keep job-hunting, keep paying down her student loans, keep pretending she's fine. Instead, she keeps going back - first for answers, then for him.
What starts as sarcasm and disbelief twists into a bond that blurs the line between human and something else entirely.
