worn leather | dry grass | aged honey | crisp red apples | cinnamon musk
A tantalizing yet grounding blend that carries you on an adventure into a world apart. Worn leather and dry grasses give way to crisp red apple fresh from the tree, warm aged honey, and cinnamon musk. Reminiscent of shortening days and the taste of freedom. This one is your new favorite summer-to-fall fragrance that’s as sensual and mystical as it is familiar and melancholic.
He took in a deep breath as he pulled away to regard me. “You smell of home.”
“Horse sweat, hay, and travel dust? You've taken up living on a saddle in my absence?”
He snorted at my jest, then lowered his forehead to mine... His fingers buried deeper into my hair while his thumbs caressed the contours of my cheeks, skimming my scars. “You… are home to me.”
I had a few favorites [from the healer's medicines] as well, though preferred the more pleasing scents of her raw honey and comfrey balm, which I used to heal the numerous sunburns and rashes I acquired while training.

About the book
When Sundered Spirits Dream by Tamber Kroh
Spirit Forged Stones, Book 1
Pub date: 9/29/26
A noble in hiding.
A brother following an impossible trail.
A madman driven by revenge.
Under the Spirit Council's rigid laws, being born a princess means surrendering your future to duty. When a violent abduction gives one young noble the chance to disappear, they seize it. Adopting the name Dearal, they exchange courtly obligations for the anonymity of the stables and conceal their magic. To claim a life that finally feels like their own, they choose a gender shift to realign body and spirit, embracing the freedom denied to their noble birth.
The life Dearal builds begins to unravel when an unexpected friendship with a young noble deepens into something neither of them can afford. If the Council uncovers Dearal’s true identity, they will lose not only their freedom, but the magic that has become part of who they are. Meanwhile, Prince Tharon refuses to believe his missing twin is dead, following a fading trail across land and sea.
Tharon’s search leads him into the hands of a man harvesting magic from the innocent to fuel a war of revenge. As the Spirit Council tightens its grip on the kingdom, the sanctuary Dearal fought to build is reduced to ashes, and the past they escaped comes searching for them once more.
Is it truly freedom if they must hide who they are to achieve it?
