A long journey. A sentient tree. A deceitful god. Faraki arrives in his new home with only his armor and evidence to clear his name. His only hope to create an alliance between the tree-dwelling elves and his goddess is to encourage a true bond with an elf who seems to hate him. All Velden wanted was a relaxing honeymoon in his homeland. Instead, he must bolster his people against the blood demon. Old enemies and new attempt to thwart his journey and test his days-old marriage bond. It will take all of Farbonnur's elves to construct a shield wall strong enough to withstand the blood demon, and they're running out of time. True love may not be enough to save the realm when a god switches sides. Tree of Secrets is a 97,000 word romantic fantasy with familiar fated mate faces in new locations. It is the fifth book in the Farbonnur Elves series and is best read after Tower of Lies and before Demon of Darkness. ToS has an enemies to lovers relationship with a happily ever after (for now - there's still a blood demon!), more Al and Denny sunshine/grumpy sweetness, a hive of baby lubarikin and an exhausted new parent, #GetWerlAGirlfriend (I heard you) and more spicy ritual goodness!
