A Forever Unrooting of Jade and Hickory (The Rooted Realm)
Mikki Roule
by Sephyrra
St. Dymphna’s asylum is a place where hope goes to die, a rotting sanctuary for women labeled as monsters. For one woman, incarceration is meant to be a final sentence for her sins, but she discovers that the walls of this institution harbor something far more lethal than the doctors. Within the shadows lurks an ancient, hulking nightmare, a masked demon who feeds on the madness of the broken.
When she refuses to crumble under the asylum’s cruelty, she catches the attention of the beast himself. What begins as a predatory hunt quickly spirals into a twisted, visceral connection. This is not a typical paranormal romance; it is a descent into a Silent Hill-esque landscape of gore, trauma, and dark desire. As the ancient entity demands blood, the lines between victim and monster blur, forcing them into a volatile dance of survival and obsession.
Featuring a fierce, plus-size heroine over thirty and a possessive, alpha-hero, this enemies-to-lovers tale is as disturbing as it is beautiful. Sephyrra delivers a haunting experience defined by feminine rage and profound moral ambiguity. If you crave a dark, high-stakes romance that pushes every boundary, prepare to be consumed by this unforgettable, blood-soaked masterpiece.

This book was disgusting, disturbing, horrifying, dark, and deeply DEEPLY beautiful. I cried, I cringed, I gagged. This author has done this to me twice now (highly rec reading Drenched from this same series)! Zahra and Helmet Head™️ are a match made in hell and I loved every second of them together. I wish I could’ve been hanging from those meat hooks watching them bang it out! 😩🪝 My one beef was the undoing of the Judge. I feel like I didn’t buy that he just died so easily after a...
