In the cursed land of Eldralis, wildflowers bloom as symbols of hope-yet even their petals cannot escape the cruel hand of fate.
Liora, a spirited girl from a quiet village, has always dreamed of freedom beyond her meadow home. Caelan, her childhood friend with secrets as deep as the tower's roots, shares those dreams. But when a prophecy surfaces, declaring Liora as the chosen sacrifice to break the kingdom's ancient curse, her idyllic life shatters.
Forced to journey to the heart of Eldralis with Caelan and his noble best friend, Rowan, Liora discovers that her parents have hidden the truth of her fate-and her destiny is darker than she ever imagined. As their bond deepens, forbidden love blooms between Liora and Caelan, defying the prophecy and the gods themselves.
But destiny has a way of claiming its due, and sacrifices must be made. With the fate of Eldralis hanging in the balance, Liora and Caelan must face betrayal, divine wrath, and their own hearts to uncover a truth that will either save their world-or doom them all.
When the wildflowers fade, the truth will bloom. And love may not survive it.
I am insufficient. Well, that's not my name obviously, but that's what my family has decided I am.
I'm Julie. I'm 14, about to be 15 years old. I have a twin sister, Jamie. Jamie is an angel. Perfect at everything, and can do no wrong. At least in my family's eyes. And I? I am not perfect. I am a disappointment. Though they've never said that to me outright, I know that's what they truly think.
The apparent "last straw" was when Jamie fucked up and I took the fall for it. Now, I'm on my way to live with some of my more distant relatives back in Italy. They're supposed to "put me back in my place."
So now I get to go live with 3 Italian Capo's.
Sounds like fun right?

What happens when Julie gets sent away? And what happens when her relatives receives a girl they had been brought to believe was a troublesome, borderline delinquent teenager, but is actually just a confused, dissociative little girl with a messed up idea of what family really means.
And what happens when Julie comes to realise that the people she was living with, weren't all who they said they were?
