She was never meant to leave the Grove. She did it anyway.
Five short stories from the heart of the forest… and the edge of love.

Before Jace. Before the party. Before she broke the law for love.

Syl is a dryad — a guardian of sacred groves, bound by ancient rhythms and forbidden from personal desire. But when a certain adventurer stumbles into her world, something awakens in her that defies every root-bound rule.

This standalone collection includes five emotionally rich short stories exploring Syl’s untold journey: the desperate bargains, the forbidden Steps, the broken laws, and the quiet, unshakable devotion that will reshape the forest forever.

She doesn’t fight for loot. She fights for the path to stay open.
