Tatum, Daphne – These Tangled Roots

September 11, 2025 · In: 19th

Some roots anchor you.
Others entangle you.
And some weave fire through your soul.


Fifteen-year-old Destry Adams lives by one precept: stay under the radar. Only her best friend Camden knows about her alcoholic mom, deadbeat dad, and dumpster-fire life. Or so she thinks.

Then the headmistress of an arcane faerie academy appears with unwelcome news: Destry is half-faerie, and her mere presence harms normal humans.

To protect her mom and Camden, Destry chooses to attend school in a distant sanctum, where magic threads the air and sentient trees with stained-glass leaves keep watch. Yet even as she explores the wonders of the fey world, Destry’s fire abilities beckon her to the neighboring goblin realm…where their fearsome king holds sway.

But an unseen danger stalks unwary faeries. Students are disappearing—students who look a lot like Destry—and evidence points to goblin involvement. Caught between two worlds, Destry must unearth where her roots truly lead…before they entangle her in the deadliest of ways.
