Roses are pretty... But watch out for the thorns

Roses are red.
Violets are blue.

When Seryn uncovers a secret too late, she finds herself in a situation where a life-changing decision is inevitable. She discovers that until she decides, her life, mind and body are not entirely her own, and are held in precariously balance.

Convinced to endure alone, but subject to pressures around her, Seryn untangles and rebuilds the network of strength beneath her own skin and within a community hidden to the untrained eye.
