Rowan: Branch 1 of the Tree of Life

Nearly a century ago, Rowan Nemed died by lightning strike.

The divine bolt ignited something magic and she was transformed into something rare, powerful, and fey: sidhe. Sidhe survival depends much upon one’s ability to remain hidden from other supernatural creatures and magic users who would exploit them. Rowan has lived for several years in the pressure cooker of Hollywood as a set designer, carefully staying away from the camera. However, a spontaneous act of recognition for her work brings Rowan to the notice of Los Angeles’ supernatural community and her freedom is threatened.

Lion shifter Adrian and vampire Simon are best friends and business partners.

When they discover Rowan, each wants her for his own. Rowan does her best to dissuade them, for a supernatural matebond means the end of her freedom. Then demons begin hunting sidhe and Rowan is a prime target. She agrees to exchange her freedom for survival.

But which male will Rowan accept? And can she survive when one of them dies in a battle to keep her?
