A Dream of the Forest
(2025)(The first book in the Court of the Earth series)
A novel by Rose Bitterly
All my life, I’ve dreamed of Hartshorn—and the two brothers who live there.
The Hartshorn brothers are little more than memories. Maybe even less than that. But when I inherit a house deep in the East Texas woods, they come back into my life.
And they bring their secrets with them.
Gideon is the strong one, the kind one. But there’s a craving for darkness simmering beneath his surface, and it awakens something even darker inside me.
Xavier is the cruel one, the one I shouldn’t want. But when he reaches out to me, I still shudder beneath his rough touch.
Together, they leave a trail of blood and magic through the darkest parts of the forest.
And I have no choice but to follow.
A Dream of the Forest is the first book in the Court of the Earth duet. This two-part dark gothic horror romance story features paranormal elements, morally black MMCs, and an HEA. (Although please note that Book 1 ends on a cliffhanger).
It also contains material that some readers may find disturbing. Please review the full list of content notes on the author’s website.
