Prince Sage, the man next in line to be king, offers to nurture a dying house plant back to life. He soon realises that the plant has a mind of its own, and perhaps a body too. Sage Green knows only rules. He doesn't break them, he doesn't do anything to look out of place. He sets a strong example and lives to make his parents proud. Though Sage is very out of touch with his passions. He lives to please, he lives to do his duty. Sage doesn't like to inspire, or to search for inner peace, or to truly appreciate the land beyond his Palace walls. That is, until his new Valet brings chaos to his comfortable world.

Ruth Marjorie Semple has a past she wishes she could forget. Her life in the present isn't so terrible, and yet, she finds herself struggling to enjoy the person who loves her most and even refuses to take pride in the job she's excelling in. How can she appreciate any of that, when her mind is still stuck on a lover from her college days three years prior? Go back in time as Ruth tries to sort through her feelings, drawing her memory all the way back to the day she, quite literally, ran into Raffo Leflore in good ol' Oklahoma, and explore the life of an Afro-Indigenous woman. He doesn't talk about himself much, but he constantly seems to show up for her anyway and she wants to figure out why. What about the two of them is written in the stars? Or are they even written up there at all? And most of all, how do you know which stars are worth chasing? Follow along as Ruth learns to grapple with her sorrow, learns more about her Choctaw heritage, and experiences a love that maybe only happens once in a lifetime. *Characters are Black and/or Brown casting.* Cover designed by Ren T
