The Season of Stick and Bone

Erik Weston never expected that returning to his mother’s sleepy Pacific Northwest hometown would thrust him into a war between nature’s wrath and humanity’s greed. Erik hopes to find solace in the routine work at his family’s lumber mill, but each day spent felling ancient trees deepens his grief, clashing with his reverence for the forests he’s forced to destroy. One fateful night, Erik’s life is upended when he discovers a wounded dryad hiding in the shadows of the mill’s back stock, wounded by the brutal machinery of the mill.

As he nurses the dryad back to health, their forbidden bond awakens a passion Erik has long repressed, bestowing up it the name Roman. But this connection triggers a deadly retaliation from nature, unleashing a storm of vengeance upon the town. Now, Erik must choose between the simplicity and comfort found in his new small-town life and the otherworldly love he’s found with Roman—a love that could burn everything to the ground with a simple spark.
