Bitter Sap and Black Wings

About this book

In the enchanted treetop village of Willowbrook Vale, magic means cozy hearth-potions and dreamless slumbers wrapped in vine hammocks. Elowen Blackthorn is a cynical twenty-three-year-old sprite who prefers fencing pilfered comfort-charms over community bonding. But when a catastrophic Sap-Slump strikes, souring the vale's comforts and threatening the Great Willow's survival, Elowen's hidden hoard is put at risk. Tasked by Elder Mira to find the stolen Lumencrystal or face exile, the reluctant anti-hero embarks on a cozy yet high-stakes investigation. Interrogating a bumbling gnome baker, a bruised vine-weaver, and a jealous potion-brewer, Elowen uncovers a web of secrets, rigged bets, and unexpected warmth. Forced to evolve from a selfish outcast to an unlikely guardian, she races to unmask the true culprit and restore the village's magic before her home withers away forever.
