The Oldest Thing I Ever Touched — Book II
Iris Calder thought she understood her morning walks in the redwoods—until the forest spirit she’d been talking to began to take shape before her eyes.
Now Thalen is more than bark and shadow; he’s a man pulled into being by her presence, and every touch blurs the line between wonder and danger.
But as he grows stronger, Iris finds herself haunted by a question she can’t ignore: if a thousand-year-old tree spirit could ever walk free of his roots… what would that mean for both of them?
K. Nocturne crafts stories where dark academia meets epic fantasy—worlds of crumbling libraries, haunted bloodlines, and power that always demands a cost. Her work explores the razor-thin line between ambition and ruin, weaving tales of rivals-turned-allies, dangerous legacies, and the quiet intensity of bonds forged in shadow.
When not conjuring worlds of ashes and echoes, K. Nocturne can be found haunting coffee shops with too many notebooks, cataloguing obscure mythologies, and chasing the idea that the right book can feel like a spell.View all by K. Nocturne
