Soulwood

Blood of the Earth (Soulwood #1) by Faith Hunter

In a world where the earth hums with ancient magic, Soulwood offers a spellbinding glimpse into the dark undercurrents of the supernatural. The series centers on Nell Ingram, a woman bound to the land in ways that make her both a protector and a weapon. Raised in isolation, Nell’s connection to the earth is more than mystical—it’s primal. When she's recruited by PsyLED, a covert government agency tasked with dealing with paranormal threats, her powers—and her past—are thrust into the heart of a deadly, complex world.

As Nell navigates this dangerous terrain, she confronts not only the supernatural creatures that threaten humanity, but the darker aspects of her own abilities, which are tied to a past she can’t fully escape. Each new challenge forces her to confront the truth about herself, her powers, and the cost of belonging to a world she can never truly leave behind. The tension between her deep-rooted magic and the human side of her is a delicate balance that propels the series forward, as Nell wrestles with her identity and the responsibilities that come with being one of the few people capable of bridging the human and supernatural worlds.
