Darva Green
Of Dreams and Poison: The Dragon and The Devouring Tree Part 1
$32.00 AUD
"It was always meant to be a tale of the dragon and the devouring tree..."
Sleeping Beauty meets Robin Hood in the first book of this high-heat sapphic dark romantasy duology.
Rosemary
Three years ago I was freed from the jailer’s cart and sentenced to a lifetime of servitude at the Briar Apothecary, located at the edge of a forest filled with devouring trees. I spend my days blending herbal remedies for my mistress and concocting poisonous treats to weed out her enemies.
I've learned firsthand that the prince isn’t the hero the rebellion wants him to be. His careless bet invites danger to my doorstep, but it turns out a bit of danger is exactly what I need. Now I’m falling for a woman willing to be ruthless for me. The only problem is I’ll have to betray her to free my godmothers from the Ivy Keep.
Can I break my own heart to save my family?
Carabosse
The little witch must have cast a spell on me. The job was supposed to be easy. Get the dragon eggs and be discreet. Take care of any loose ends and leave a message for the brat prince who dared to steal from the Dragon Valley.
But I never expected to feel this warmth in my chest until I laid eyes on her.
I've served my queen for twenty years, helping her rise to power in this realm after escaping Faerie. I'm blood-sworn to put her above all else, but now I'm questioning everything.
And I'll do anything to get sweet Rosemary to safety, even if there's no chance of a happy ending for me.
Can I break an oath to uphold a vow?
