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.

Luke Skywalker, the Last Jedi, faces his toughest challenge yet. To rebuild the Jedi Order, he must give up his personal hopes and dreams. Every move is critiqued by not only the New Republic Senate but also the Force-ghost Jedi Council of the past. His sister's tumultuous marriage and unplanned pregnancy, disillusionment with the Jedi Code, and a sinister Empire that will not admit defeat all compound as Luke establishes the Jedi Academy. Join him as he battles the darkness within himself, discovers the origins of the Jedi, and fulfills his destiny pursuing compassion above all else. The one thing that a Jedi is forbidden may be the only thing that saves him and the galaxy. (A fan reboot set between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens in the tradition and style of the Original Trilogy.) TRIGGER WARNINGS: Luke suffers from PTSD after the Emperor's Force-lightning attack, which is limited to his reliving the experience. There is discussion about past history for a few characters in slavery and ensuing abuse, but nothing in real time and nothing graphic. The focus is on healing.
