7 Unlikely Companions.
5 Libraries.
1 Hidden Prophecy.
THE GREAT TREE OF IRIS is a cozy-ish epic romantic fantasy standalone adult novel that weaves the stories of seven unlikely companions who race against time to find hidden pieces of a destructive prophecy and, hopefully, save a healing tree and the world.
The book combines a 30-year-old FMC's map-crossing quest with fade-to-black sapphic romance in a queer-normative world. Perfect for fans of Samantha Shannon, L.R. Lam, S.A. Chakraborty, Saara El-Arifi, and J.R.R. Tolkien.
What you'll find in TGTOI:
Dragons, phoenixes, and sirens
A slow burn main sapphic romance (FF) and a fast burn secondary MX (male/nonbinary) romance
She falls first but they're both women so good luck figuring that out
Action, but no war
Map-crossing quest (and there is, in fact, a gorgeous map!)
A 30-year-old fat bisexual scholar FMC
Anxiety, panic attacks, and depression rep
A twist on the prophecy and chosen one tropes
A long-lost epic friendship between a dragon (who has her own POV) and a female wizard
Queernormative world
🌶️🌶️two chili peppers fade to black romance
There are two beds
A romantic lantern festival
A sexy masquerade
What if we kissed in an ice cave? What then?
