The Heron & The Wren Series
Stories from the world of Almere
The Ghost and the Wren
Book One of The Heron & The Wren
She came for peace and quiet. She got a sexy ghost and an ancient curse. Close enough.
Coming 2026

Dr. Ella Greenwald came to the remote island of Almere for one reason: to disappear.
Burned out from her academic career, she’s seeking quiet recovery among fog-shrouded forests and ancient folklore. Instead, she finds an island that hums with something otherworldly—whispers in the legendary Herlowe Grove, dreams that feel too vivid to dismiss, and a man’s voice that shouldn’t exist.
Theron Valemont is magnetic, infuriating, and impossible. Their connection defies everything Ella’s scientific mind tells her is real, yet she’s drawn to him with an intensity that terrifies her. But Theron isn’t the only one vying for her attention. Marek Voss, a charming archaeologist excavating the grove’s secrets, offers something Theron never can: a future she can touch.
Caught between skepticism and awakening belief, between two men and two worlds, Ella must choose what to trust—her rational mind or her unraveling heart. Because Almere’s myths aren’t just stories, and some bonds transcend the boundaries of life itself.
As the island’s secrets begin to surface and shadows stir in the grove, Ella discovers that her arrival wasn’t coincidence. She’s part of something far older and more dangerous than she imagined—a pattern woven long before she was born.
Some destinies can’t be escaped. Some loves can’t be explained.
