About
Circadian Forest is a fantasy series set in an immersive original world.
Clove has spent her life adrift as a nomad. Suddenly, the stars align and she fulfills her lifelong dream of settling down in one place, under one roof, among an eccentric community of people who welcome her with open arms. Even so, she finds herself fighting to hold onto all that she now calls home as internal and external forces alike threaten to displace and, possibly, destroy her.
Interdimensional entanglement, arcane forces, and a very coincidental reunion come together to pose a myriad of problems for a former nomad who just wants to tend her garden in peace.
Content warnings:
While this series is built on somewhat of a cozy, wholesome foundation, this strikes a balance with the exploration of darker, heavier themes.
This series includes explicit language, sensitive topics, and suggestive themes.
