A shy dryad guarding his forest. A unicorn who refuses to give up on friendship. A bond that grows sweeter with every gift.

My magic led me to Silent Creek Park—and to him. The reclusive spirit who lived there wasn't just shy, he was hidden behind walls built from centuries of solitude. But my instincts told me he mattered. Maybe more than anyone ever had.
So I did what any sensible unicorn would do: I started showing up. With cupcakes. With cookies. With every sweet treat I could find—because if the way to a man's heart was through his stomach, I planned to win him over, one bite at a time.

For centuries, my forest was my world. My sanctuary. And then... I felt him. A unicorn—vibrant, beautiful, carrying his own scars. He unsettled me, tempted me, made me want more than silence.
I wasn't ready to speak. Not yet. But when he brought me gifts, I gave my own in return, just like the old ways. Maybe a friend wasn't such a dangerous thing to have. Maybe... maybe he could be more.

The Reclusive Dryad is a tender MM paranormal romance featuring a last-of-his-kind unicorn, a dryad with a sweet tooth, and a love story as timeless as the earth itself—with Mistvale's usual dose of magical chaos. Both characters in this story are ace, and there's no spice, only sweetness.
