Healed by the Forest Heart

Micah enters the bioluminescent forest searching for the one person he couldn’t save...Sam.

The world above has given him grief, exhaustion, and impossibilities.

The forest offers something else entirely.

The deeper he’s drawn into the glowing tunnels beneath the roots, the more the forest responds to him: healing wounds he shouldn’t have survived, easing burdens he’s carried for years, and syncing its ancient heartbeat with his own. Tendrils cradle him with deliberate gentleness. Bioluminescent sap marks him. And the presence at the center of the forest, vast, patient, alive, recognises him instantly.

Micah didn’t come here to be claimed.

He came here for answers.

But the forest knows what he needs, even when he does not.

And at the heart of its vast consciousness, he finds not only Sam…

but a future he could never have imagined.

A dark MM fantasy romance of living forests, sacred healing, biological transformation, and the deep, intimate bond between a broken human and the ancient forest that chooses him.
