The Haven, The Hallow, & The Highborn (Roots of Magic #0.5) by Jessa Grey
In facing her finest opponent, she will uncover her greatest strength.Eedy Blackthorn wields a rare and mystical witch magic—she can become a conduit to harness the raw forces of lightning itself. But her abilities do not make up for her painful past. After a tragic accident claims her beloved father, Eedy inherits his seat on the mage-led council. Consumed by guilt over her father's death and determined to honor his legacy, she refuses to be silenced, no matter how often the male-dominated council disregards her suggestions.
When a mysterious disruption in magic threatens the kingdom’s balance, Prince Caelum is sent to join the council. Discovering Eedy’s identity reawakens a grudge tied to her late father, who ridiculed his family for years. With old wounds resurfacing, every council debate between them crackles with tension. As they clash over how to restore the magical order, their arguments become charged with something neither of them is willing to name.
With duty and destiny colliding, Eedy and Caelum must navigate their forbidden feelings for each other while racing to restore the kingdom’s magic before the winter solstice. As the solution to the magical crisis becomes clear, the couple is faced with an impossible decision, one that will test the limits of Eedy’s power and the depths of Caelum’s heart.
Love, magic, and sacrifice intertwine in this rivals-to-lovers romantasy novella. This novella takes place a century before the start of the related Roots of Magic main series.
Almost fifteen years later, Nora has achieved her dream. So why does that summer still intrude into her memories? When an alert goes out for a major forest fire, Nora’s editor orders her to cover the Women’s Plus doing fire mitigation in advance of the flames. Fallon is now the team leader and can’t be distracted by Nora’s appearance if she’s going to keep her crew safe and help save the forest. But what can she do about the heat between them that has never gone out?
Whitley has seen her great state at its best and its worst. Maybe she is a know-it-all, but experience matters as they’re forced to traverse the unrelenting Alaskan landscape and make impossible decisions to find a way out of this mess. Cold, rain-soaked perilous miles stand between them and safety, and they must put their personal hang-ups and stubbornness aside to survive. When they do, it turns out they don’t hate each other after all, and if they weren’t actively fighting for their lives, they just might find each other attractive.
But Abigail and Whitley are not alone in the wild. And being stranded far from home isn’t their biggest problem. A stalker is tracking their every move, and they’re in more danger than they know.
