The vibe

After a disastrous scientific expedition, life goes on for the survivors… except for Ludwig von Meyer, renowned botanist and victim of a deadly curse. Ludwig is slowly turning into a tree—his body growing more alien by the day. And then there are the blackouts, which leave him waking in an eerie, blighted grove he can’t explain.

One night, Ludwig wakes on the doorstep of the grove’s keeper: Alois, a mysterious dryad prince. Alois offers a pact—he can lift Ludwig’s curse, but only if Ludwig can rid the sacred grove of its spreading blight.

With the bargain sealed, Ludwig has only weeks to untangle three mysteries before time runs out: the plagued grove, the dying dryad prince, and the curse eating his body alive. Because if Ludwig fails, he won’t just lose his humanity—he’ll become a permanent part of the grove… and he’ll lose the handsome dryad who is steadily, dangerously claiming his heart.
