Rootbound-Dark Romance Fairytale retelling

Aiyana Rootfall was raised to broker peace.

She was not raised to surrender her land.

When settlers arrive with promises of cooperation, Aiyana finds herself caught between a warrior who would fight for her, a spirit who bleeds when the forest is cut, and a captain who claims he wants peace   but commands an army.

They all want something from her.

But Aiyana will not be traded.

ROOTBOUND is a dark, high-heat why-choose romance about sovereignty, land magic, and a heroine who defends her people without becoming anyone’s prize.
