Court of Verdant Ashes: A Novel of Love, Loss, and the Last Magic, (Paperback)

<b>IN A WORLD OF ASH, ONE LOVE WILL BECOME THE SEED OF REBIRTH.</b> <p><br>Dr. Aris Thorne is a scientist who trusts only in data. In a world succumbing to the Great Withering-a mysterious plague silencing the earth-her work is a fortress of logic against the grief of a dying planet. She measures the decay, she charts the extinction, but she has long forgotten how to feel. </p><p><br>Until an impossible message lures her to the Veridian, the last bastion of life on a blighted continent. It is a forest that shouldn't exist, a miracle that defies every law of nature. And it is dying. </p><p><br>The forest's guardian, Kaelen, is the last of his kind-an ancient, powerful, and desperate being whose own life-force is fading with his world. He sees in Aris not a savior, but the scent of the enemy, a human whose legacy is the very poison that is unmaking him. </p><p><br>Forced into a magical, intimate bond they neither want nor understand, they must race to find the source of the Withering before it consumes the last sanctuary. As Aris's scientific mind collides with Kaelen's primal magic, she uncovers a conspiracy that goes to the heart of her own past. To save the world, she must not only trust the god she is bound to, but also confront the ghost of the man who broke the planet: her father. </p><p><br><b>In this revolutionary fusion of breathtaking romance, epic fantasy, and urgent climate fiction, <i>Court of Verdant Ashes</i> asks the ultimate question: in a world without hope, is love the last magic we have left?</b> </p><p><br><i>Perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas, Rebecca Yarros, and Jennifer L. Armentrout, this is the first book in The Verdant Court series, a genre-defining epic that will leave you breathless and change the way you see the world.</i></p>
