The Series
The Warden Trilogy
Book One
Bloom of the
Shadow Warden
Where forbidden roots grow deepest.
Linnea is a botanist who coaxes life from places it has no right to grow. Falling through a rusted storm grate into an underground world of bioluminescent wonder was not on her agenda — neither was Kaelen Vyr, the Shadow Warden who has enforced the Conservatory’s laws for three centuries without exception, without softness, and without the faintest crack in his armour. The law is absolute: fated-mate bonds between wardens and surface humans are illegal. The biology is equally absolute. And somewhere between the glowing roots of Sector Four and the archives of a four-century lie, a botanist and a shadow warden discover that some things grow exactly where they’re forbidden.
Book Two
Currents of the
Deep Warden
Some tides cannot be turned.
Clara Hayes has broken free of every cage they ever built for her. The Sunken Terraces are something different — ancient, luminous, and entirely ruled by Thane Morven, the Aquatic Warden who has spent two centuries answering only to the Council. The bond activates the moment she enters his water. The law calls it illegal. Clara calls it Tuesday. And the Council’s patience with the surface woman who refuses to follow the rules has a very specific expiration date.
Book Three
Flight of the
Canopy Warden
Every law has a founding flaw.
Hazel Brooks has spent her life reading between the lines of every document she touches — and in the Whispering Vault’s founding archives, the lines say something the Council buried four centuries ago. Silas Vane — the Canopy Warden, the obsidian executioner — has enforced every law he was given without a moment’s doubt. When the archivist shows him the clause that makes the whole regime impossible to justify, the executioner must choose: the institution that made him, or the woman who found the law that proves they were always wrong.
