Taken by the Forest Bloom
Jace arrives in the Living Forest as a xenobotanist, prepared to study its unusual blooming season. But when the air thickens with glowing pollen and the forest’s bioluminescent roots begin to pulse beneath his feet, science quickly gives way to something far older.
The trees shift around him.
The moss responds to his touch.
And deep within the blooming zone, a Guardian awakens—its tendrils moving with deliberate, intelligent purpose.
What begins as observation becomes entanglement when the forest reacts to Jace’s suppressed omega biology, recognising him as the catalyst it has been waiting for. The blooms track his movements, the vines follow his breath, and the Guardian’s presence grows impossible to escape.
The forest hasn’t trapped him.
It has chosen him.
A dark MM fantasy romance of living ecosystems, pollen-laced temptation, sacred glades, and the slow, inevitable bond between a human researcher and the ancient Guardian who refuses to let him go.
