Forestfall by Lyndall Clipstone

At the lake's edge, I made my promise. In the forest, I will fall.
The curse that haunted Lakesedge Estate has been broken, but at great cost.
Violeta Graceling has sacrificed herself to end the Corruption.
To escape death, Leta makes a desperate bargain with the Lord Under, one

When she discovers she is still bound to Rowan, Leta goes to drastic lengths
to reforge their connection. But her search for answers, and a path back
home, will see her drawn into even more dangerous bargains, and struggling
to resist the allure of a new, dark, power in Forestfall by Lyndall Clipstone.
