Dr. Juniper Waincroft came to the planet Otroc for scientific research. Instead, she found herself trapped in a pollination center, a pretty name for a nightmare for human women where pleasure is harvested for drug creation.
When she escapes into the forest, lost and poisoned, the last thing she expects is to carve her initials into a tree that bleeds golden sap. Because it’s not a tree at all.
Damek is an Arborium, a sentient plant-being who’s spent years gathering intelligence on the criminal operation destroying his world. He should bring Juniper to his people for questioning. Instead, he finds himself bonded to her through an intimate encounter that saves her life and changes his forever.
Now Juniper must use her scientific expertise to create an antidote that could dismantle a galaxy-spanning drug empire, all while navigating a village that sees her as the enemy.
Damek must choose between his duty to his people and his growing devotion to a human who’s already carved her way into more than just his bark.
But when the pollination centers discover one of their most valuable assets has escaped, and an elder within Damek’s own village decides Juniper is too dangerous to live, being together might cost them everything.
In a world where humans are commodities and trust is rare, two unlikely allies must root themselves in each other, or watch everything they’re fighting for burn to ash.
