Rootsrealm

Sixteen-year-old Clara Redwood is drowning in grief after the loss of her father. Trapped between her own heartbreak and her mother's overwhelming sorrow, she longs for an escape from a world that no longer feels like home.

Then she discovers an impossible tree and an impossible love.

Hidden deep within a familiar grove, the mysterious tree leads to the Rootsrealm. In this ancient world, forests breathe, fairies soar through the skies, djinn guard forgotten secrets, witches wield old magic, and legendary beings prepare for a darkness older than history itself. An oracle has foreseen the arrival of a human girl whose fate is entwined with the survival of every realm.

That girl is Clara. As an exiled sorcerer awakens an ancient evil, long-buried secrets begin to surface. Friendships are tested, impossible alliances are forged, and Clara must confront not only the darkness threatening two worlds but also the grief she has carried for so long.

To save the Rootsrealm, she will have to discover the strength hidden within herself—because sometimes the greatest magic isn't found in spells or relics, but in the courage to heal, in unrequited love.
