In the Gardens, the grieving plant memories as living flowers: a father’s last words, a child’s laugh, each bloom holding the sound of the dead. Now someone is stealing the most precious of them, and every theft hollows another heart.
Meredith Trevelyn, guardian of a cottage that opens doors between worlds, is sent to find the thief. In a dying silver grove she discovers a mourner whose devotion has curdled into ruin, and a grief that mirrors the one she has kept locked behind a door in her own house for fourteen months.
To bring the stolen memories home, she must finally unlock her own.
For readers of E.L. Wrenwood’s The Hearthwright’s Route and R.J. Quinn’s The Spirit of the Unruly Garden, this is a gentle, luminous fantasy about letting go after losing someone you love.
