A Forever Unrooting of Jade and Hickory (The Rooted Realm)
Mikki Roule
by K.J. Sutton
As the last of the Nightmares, Fortuna Sworn has spent two years living in the shadows, desperate to find her missing brother. She is a creature designed to lure and seduce, but her survival depends entirely on staying hidden from the supernatural forces that view her kind as pawns. When a mysterious stranger with inhuman eyes offers her a lead, she is forced to strike a dangerous bargain that drags her into the heart of a treacherous realm.
This dark fantasy romance masterfully balances high-stakes intrigue with a gripping, slow-burn tension. As Fortuna navigates the lethal politics of the courts, she discovers that her own latent power is far greater than she dared imagine. Surrounded by morally gray characters and ancient threats, she must learn who to trust in a world where every alliance comes with a hidden cost.
Perfect for readers who crave a dark faerie tale that is as beautiful as it is terrifying, this story weaves together themes of found family and soul-deep sacrifice. If you are searching for a paranormal series that delivers complex world-building, intense demon deals, and a second-chance narrative that keeps you guessing, this completed saga is your next obsession.

I'm a transparent sort of person, so I wanted to...

I’m not going to info dump the blurb, so I’ll start by saying that Fortuna Sworn was... something else.

Other fantasy beings. Unseelie and Seelie courts. A world adjacent to the human one. Corruption. Some budding romance from more than one suitor. A little bit of blood. A little bit of violence. Fortuna is...

First, the brother thing. It worked at the beginning . Fortuna made a bargain with the gorgeous Rhysandeske fae who tilted his head oftenly so she can save her brother who was missing for 2 years. She enters the unseelie court and nothing is what it seems, blah blah ..to this point all ok, it got me hooked, ..I...
