Where magic intersects with life, Ren is an unwilling planter whose magnificent garden is full of his failures. When his attempt at confessing to his crush leads to the sight of an unexpected guest hidden in the flowers he was going to give, Ren is tugged along on a fantastical quest to an odd little village that only exists on rainy days to not just break the curse of the finger-sized prince who's deemed Ren his friend, but to also break free from Ren's own wretched connection to mistakes. Along the way, he may just come to realize the power of not just unbridled love, but also love for oneself and just how beautifully it can blossom into something worth saving.

Amidst secrets, ticking time, tall tales with hints of truth, and a forest worth dying in, perhaps this time around, Ren won't add to his flowers of failures. Not if he can help it.

Love can bloom, too, after all, right?

It's been months since The Incident, but Harry hasn't forgotten. How could he, with the nightmares keeping him awake every night. Not a second goes by that he doesn't think about it. The Incident left his sister, Gemma, a walking tragedy. She doesn't speak, she barely eats, and she rarely sleeps. Orphaned in a camper in the middle of a run down trailer park, they're barely surviving, haunted by the gruesome memories of what happened that night. When the news catches wind of their whereabouts after seven months of searching, Harry and Gemma are taken into CPS custody, where they're placed with their mother's old childhood friend. Excited for a new start, one with running water and indoor toilets, Harry does his best to put one foot in front of the other and finally be alive. But he's been just living for so long that he's not sure how, especially since Gemma doesn't seem to be improving. And to top it all off, his new family's eldest son, three years his senior, is too curious and seems to know just a little too much.
