    Beneath the starlit canopy of Verdantia, where vine lords tangle embraces in nocturnal twine and free-spirited dryads sway with leafy liberty, lord Vesper ensnares dryad Sylva in a tangled love that defies her wandering roots. Their embrace, twisted in vine vows, grows the canopy—or chokes it with possessive thorns. As they climb star-veiled arbors and root-laced grottos, entangled by thorn barons and spirit wanderers, Vesper's lordly tendrils merge with Sylva's free sway, revealing a vine legend of liberated growth. When a severed vine summons blight creepers, they must untangle the embrace to nurture the stars. In the twist of starlit tangles, where every twine binds with passion and every leaf flutters with freedom, their love becomes the vine that reaches for the heavens.

    The year was 1926. Glamour, riches, and greed filled the air, but under the façade of glitter and gold lay truths much darker, more sinister, and entirely less human... Adeline Colton was cursed. Everyone in Georgia knew the devil walked her farm, and maybe they were right, because each month she had dreams—visions of a dark prince and a shadowed forest, a creature so wrong, temptation lurked beneath her skin. So after escaping to New York City, it’s no surprise that her bad fortune follows. Only this time, it’s in the form of Jack Warren: millionaire bootlegger, infamous gangster, and criminal who makes Addie his fervent obsession. Jack is everything Addie should avoid, but the more she resists his pull, the deeper she’s drawn into his extravagant world. Lured by a life of freedom and desire, Adeline must make a choice: heed her family’s warnings or follow Jack into the dark. But when fate binds them together, Jack is revealed to be something else—not man, not beast, not even the devil, but a creature much much worse.

    The Minions of Midas by Jack London - What happens when a secret society demands your fortune—or sacrifices innocent lives instead? An electrifying tale of power, greed, and morality. 
    Jack London was an interesting man. He ran for Mayor of Oakland, California twice in 1901 and 1905 as the Socialist candidate and lost both both times garnering less than a thousand votes in those elections.  
    Did you know that The Minions of Midas was turned into a Netflix series in 2020? The show is set in Madrid, Spain, and while it’s originally in Spanish, it’s also available in English. A story Jack London wrote back in 1901—that was mostly overlooked for nearly 120 years—is now a full-blown miniseries!
