Can the wind tell the truth? They said Floraville was a quiet town- A place where trees whispered stories, and flowers bloomed with memories. But Lea Emberley should have known: nothing beautiful grows without blood beneath it. After a mysterious fire consumes her childhood home, Lea is sent to live with distant relatives. A decade later, she begins to unravel the truth about the orchard that borders her old cottage. The townsfolk speak in half-truths. The flowers bloom out of season. And the wind carries a name she almost remembers. There's a legend they whisper- of a spirit who once protected Floraville... until it was betrayed. But what if there was no spirit? What if she never left? A haunting tale of heritage, sacrifice, and vengeance- where the past grows wild, and no secret stays buried forever.

Trapped

❝It is not enough to notice the beautiful flowers as you walk past them. You need to reach for their soft petals, feel their essence, remember what it is to grow.❞ - Christy Ann Martine There is no escaping the past, or what's to come. Ellie Davis knows that all too well. Even as she lays in the field, with the sinking sun and the fading blue sky, suspended in time; she knows it can't be that way forever. As much as she wants it to be. She turns to her side, wringing the daisy chain on her wrist. The evening summer breeze brushes against her exposed skin. Her lids fall shut. "I wish you were here." She says to no one, no one at all, her words lost in the wind. Ellie Davis has had anything but a normal life. Living in a small, tight-knit town with a family like hers and all the secrets with them - her only escape is the graveyard. No one else goes there, for obvious reasons. That is, until she meets a boy - one she's never seen before. The rest of the town is bound to unravel his story soon enough. After all, they know her's. Or at least, part of it. The new guy in town, however, no one knows anything about his. But when he meets her, his story almost seems like nothing compared to her's - and she doesn't even know it.
