Bloom: A Story of Eve Saint-Clare

When seventeen-year-old Eve Saint-Clare is accepted into an exclusive horticulture residency on Green Peak, she expects quiet work, fresh air, and a chance to reset her life. Instead, she finds herself living in the towering, fog-drowned Rodgers mansion, where the halls creak like they're listening and the staff move with unsettling silence.

Assigned to the estate's vast, overgrown greenhouse, Eve is partnered with Mrs. Kurt, an aging caretaker whose calmness feels more like resignation. The plants inside seem strangely aware-leaning toward Eve's touch, twitching when she speaks, reacting as if they've been waiting for her.

Day by day, the mansion's odd rules, the locked rooms, and the rigid schedule start to feel less like tradition and more like containment. Eve senses something pacing the grounds at night-something huge, antlered, and always just out of sight. Everyone else pretends not to hear it.

As Eve grows closer to Mrs. Kurt, she begins uncovering disturbing truths buried beneath Green Peak: rituals disguised as routines, plants that behave like witnesses, and a history the Rodgers family refuses to speak aloud. And through it all, one question haunts her-why does it feel like the entire mountain has been waiting for her arrival?

In Bloom, curiosity is not a flaw. It's a trap.
And Eve is about to learn what grows in the shadows when you stop following the rules.
