In a world where fertility is law and rebellion is a crime, Briar is captured at the forest’s edge and delivered to The Haven of Balance—an eco-sanctuary built to bloom obedience from within.
Here, milk flows like devotion, and women are reshaped into sacred vessels.
Briar fights the pull. Fights the chants, the soft restraints, the “cleansing milk” that alters more than just her body. But most of all, she fights him—the serene, terrifying figure at the center of it all.
Malek, the Shepherd.
He speaks in riddles and worships with hands that never rush. He doesn’t command her surrender—he coaxes it. With every whispered vow, every aching milking, every breathless ritual, he unwinds her resistance drop by drop.
Desire becomes discipline. Pain becomes prayer.
And when he claims her womb in a ceremony meant for gods, Briar must face a truth more dangerous than any collar: she doesn’t know if she wants to escape him... or bloom fully for him.
But buried in the roots of the Haven is a secret.
A girl who disappeared.
A journal soaked in milk and blood.
And a warning that comes too late.
To survive, Briar must become what they fear most—not just a vessel, but a weapon.
And Malek, the man who tried to own her?
She might love him.
But she’ll burn him too.
