A Forever Unrooting of Jade and Hickory (The Rooted Realm)

If you ever feel called to the whispering leaves of the forest beyond, be careful for what you might find rooted there. It could be your very own soul anchored to the man that lurks below. In A Forever Unrooting of Jade and Hickory, you will meet a young woman who discovers just that.

When a young antique shop owner living in the seventies finds out she has inherited an estate down south from an uncle she never knew she had, she quickly learns her soul is deeply tied to the trees that reside on its property, or more so, the beings that claim the realms beneath their roots.

Jade, a seemingly normal antique shop owner in Detroit, finds her world turned upside down when a devilish man walks into her quiet shop and informs of her newly inherited estate in a small town on the outskirts of New Orleans. Being always riddled with visions, Jade’s become more intense the more she discovers within the walls of her new estate and amongst the luring trees on its vast property.

With each vision and each discovery connecting her to a world beyond, her reality between the past and the present starts to blur until ultimately she is awoken to who she really is, and the lives she has lived before. Jade is quickly learning many of the new people she has met since moving to this small town may know more about her than they let on. In a crisis with feelings that overwhelm and a decision on whom to trust, Jade must make a decision of her own. But will it be the right one?

Adult readers will love this lyrical story of ancestral memory, dangerous romance, and supernatural inheritance. With Southern folklore, reincarnation, and myths trees, it's a haunting slow-burn with heart and teeth.
