Rootbound

Thea Mireaux, a local breaker witch and forensic botanist, is drawn back to Aurelle after her grandmother's death — only to uncover a bloodline tangled in witchcraft, fate, and the roots of the city itself.

In a world where magic has always lived alongside the human, Thea discovers her family's power is tied to something ancient and unraveling beneath reality itself — leylines that have held the world in place for centuries, now fracturing in ways no one can explain and the Everwatch won't tolerate.

As old powers stir, forbidden truths surface, and a dangerous bond pulls her toward Vaelorian — a man with no last name, no verifiable history, and an impossible knowledge of who she is — Thea must decide whether to resist the fate written into her blood or become the force that finally breaks it.
