The Twists in Willow

'Some magic sleeps in chains- waiting in darkness.Some love drags it into the light-and wakes it.'

Morwin is the last Keeper of the Grove, marked as a traitor and hunted by the empire she once protected. When a devastating Red Plague begins to spread, she leaves her sacred post and enters the wild wetlands of the Fens, searching for allies before the world unravels.

Instead, she finds suspicion, hostility—and Jonathan. A battle-hardened warrior with a disgraced past, Jonathan has no patience for outsiders or the danger that usually follows them. Yet when Morwin’s warning is dismissed and imperial forces close in, he becomes her reluctant guide and only chance of survival.

Their journey leads them through wyvern-haunted forests, lands where the dead whisper, and a forbidden garden where time fractures and desire blurs when inhibitions are lowered and obligations forgotten. As the plague worsens and mercenaries hunt Morwin for the traitor’s mark burned into her skin, attraction ignites between them—slow, volatile, and impossible to ignore.

But magic always exacts a price.

To claim the cure, Morwin must risk her identity, her memories, and the fragile bond growing between them. And when time betrays them both, they are forced to choose between love and loyalty, survival and sacrifice, paradise and duty—before ancient powers awaken and everything they fought for is lost.

THE TWISTS IN WILLOW is a dark fantasy/romantasy of cursed magic, forbidden devotion, and slow-burn passion—perfect for readers who crave lyrical worlds, dangerous love, and heroines who bleed for the future they dare to hope for.
