Cinero, born in a body that isn't his and orphan of a war he barely remembers, is sent out to find a handsome, sleeping Prince. Everything seems to be going well until he actually succeeds. An ancient evil awakens but maybe more importantly, so is an exceedingly helpful dryad named Aesling, who takes up residence in his—her?! — head and immediately offers some well-needed physical changes to the repressed Cinero. Now going by Vera, with a body that fits her much better, and with the help of the Prince and the dryad, this young trans girl has to find her friends, stop the evil, and try to figure out how two people living in one body can both be in love with the same person.

Five years after the events of Through Verdant Mirrors, Vera, now Queen alongside her loving King Clarus, has made a name for herself through her radical new policies and secretive experiments. The shackled monster inside of her, the Cavean, has remained a secret even from her beloved husband. When Roja encounters her, she sees something in him and has him and his friends, orphaned by the Cavean half a decade ago, brought to the palace. There, they find out that they will soon be traveling to the distant nation of Raasland. Unbeknownst to Roja, Vera and the dryad Aesling that lives in her mind have heard something calling from the northern forests, but what they'll find there will shake several kingdoms to their very core and change the world forever. On Verdant Wings is a Low Magic Dark Fantasy Romance Novel for all ages that is perfect for fans of Shadow and Bone.
