Heartsgrove is a queer folkloric romance from #1 New York Times bestselling author, Allison Saft. The cover is illustrated by the amazing Erika Williams, and we hope you love it as much as we do!
In the wake of a disastrous scientific expedition, life has gone on for all the surviving members—save for one. Ludwig von Meyer, renowned botanist and victim of a deadly curse, is slowly turning into a tree.
His body grows more alien by the day, and then there’s the matter of the blackouts, which have him waking inside an eerie, blighted grove.
Then, one night, he awakes on the doorstep of the grove’s keeper, a mysterious dryad prince named Alois, who offers a pact. Alois can lift Ludwig’s curse, on one condition: Ludwig must rid the sacred grove of its blight.
With the bargain sealed, Ludwig has only a handful of weeks to solve the mystery of the grove before his curse makes him a permanent part of it . . . and before the handsome dryad who increasingly owns Ludwig’s heart perishes along with his trees.
Heartsgrove will release in hardback and ebook on 16 March 2027. Preorder your copy here.
