True magic is found among the bluebells and brambles
Harriet Hunt is completely alone. Her father disappeared months ago, leaving her to wander the halls of Sunnyside house, dwelling on a past sheтАЩd rather keep buried. She doesnтАЩt often venture beyond her front gate, instead relishing the feel of dirt under her fingernails and soft moss beneath her feet.
Consequently, sheтАЩs been deemed a little too peculiar for popular Victorian society. This solitary life suits her fine thoughтАФbecause outside, magic awaits.
HarrietтАЩs garden is special. ItтАЩs a wild place full of twisting ivy, vibrant plums, and a quiet power that buzzes like bees. Caring for this placeтАФand keeping it from running rampant through the streets of her London suburbтАФis HarrietтАЩs purpose.
But a woman alone in the world is vulnerable. Soon, a sinister plot involving her fatherтАЩs disappearance begins to take shape, with Harriet herself at its center.
Everything she holds dearтАФfrom the thorny roses she tends to her very freedomтАФis at stake. To save herself, Harriet will have to unearth her past, discover the secrets of her garden, and finally embrace the wild magic inside her.
тАЬFans of Rowenna Miller and Rena Rossner will particularly enjoy this coming-of-age tale in which the magic that surrounds Harriet Hunt provides both her greatest vulnerability and her greatest strength.тАЭтАФGreer Macallister, author of The MagicianтАЩs Lie and The Thirteenth Husband
