Description
When Katrien agrees to take her cousin’s place in a perilous bargain with the fabled “Redwood Man,” she steps into a role that has already swallowed three would-be stepdaughters—and she intends to be the first to escape. Tasked with impersonating the aloof Lady Zaviera, she’s pushed through relentless lessons while the manor itself begins to change, as suffocating vines creep in and the forest’s claim tightens around everyone she’s sworn to protect. As Katrien and Zaviera’s paths blur through training and unexpected intimacy, duty and desire collide in a countdown to the moment the Redwood Man comes for his prize. Blending gothic romance with high-stakes court intrigue, this story explores identity, agency, and the bargains people make to survive—written in Markelle Grabo’s sharp, atmospheric style and emotionally charged character work.
