About this book

The crown sits heavy on Leigh Raelyn, a Lunar Witch struggling to hold a fractured realm together. As she fights to dismantle the oppressive laws that have long divided her people, she finds that peace is a fragile commodity. Betrayal festers within her own Council, and a mysterious stranger claiming kinship threatens to unravel the very foundation of her rule.

Miles away, Blade Commander Wilder Dunn faces his own crisis. Bound to his queen by both duty and a growing, slow-burn romance, Wilder finds his loyalty tested as the southern territories boil with dissent. When an ancient, death-steeped enemy begins weaving a web of political intrigue between witches and vampires, the stakes shift from simple governance to a desperate fight for survival.

Blending historical atmosphere with modern magical stakes, this demon-filled fantasy-romance masterfully expands the world introduced in the series opener. It is a high-tension tale of duty, forbidden loyalty, and the dangerous cost of change. If you crave a story where political maneuvering is just as lethal as the supernatural entities stalking the shadows, this is your next must-read. Prepare to be hooked as the past and future collide in a race to prevent total annihilation.

Like a fine wine

YOU GUYS!!! This book was one of my most anticipated releases this year and I was giddy when the ARC hit my kindle! Sadly adult life kept getting in the way of devouring this baby! Thankfully I can now say I loved it! The characters and the multiple POVs had me in a chockhold! Don't worry it's not too many! I actually followed the different storylines really easy!

Take Root was written from the heart! I enjoyed every minute of it and am so pleased with the result! It is fast, fun, and keeps you on the edge of your seat. I couldn't have written a better cast of characters, and I loved adding new voices to the mix. I hope you all love it as much as I do! )

Builds on book one so well

This was such a great follow-up to book one. It's such a natural progression of events from where we left off and builds so well on both the world and characters that I feel like we're just getting to know. We get more of the world and an additional POV that ties into the main plot, of course, but also gives us a deeper dive into the vampires and their world. Leigh and Wilder do a lot of growing on their own in their new roles as well as together as a couple, and it's pretty beautiful to...

So Good

I’m honestly shocked that as a debut author that the second book was even better than the first. Brit did such an amazing job with this follow up and I loved it so much! )

Twisty, Dark Perfection

August 20, 2025

Brit KS's Take Root is a twisty, dark paranormal romantasy with helpings on intense political intrigue and romance galore. I loved getting to return to this world that Brit has created. She does this stunning job of showing us the world in the aftermath of Leigh's revelations at the end of book one. Leigh is still fighting to make her voice known and when her ideas are overlooked it often leads her to impulsive actions to push for the better world she hopes to bring about for all. I liked...
