Flora has spent her entire life hiding in the trees and ignoring the cursed, poisonous larkspur growing from her ankle and eating away at her life. She lets her anxiety and fear control her, but fate forces her hand when her adopted mother is kidnapped by a cruel witch. The only way to save her is to find the magic shards of her family’s amulet scattered throughout her land.

If she trusts the wrong person or lets her anxiety win, Flora risks losing more than just her mother …

About the Author

Photograph of author Aleighsha Parke​

Aleighsha Parke​ is an avid reader who first fell in love with storytelling as a young child. She has worked on improving her writing craft since elementary school and began earnestly pursuing writing novels after finishing university.

Young Adult Fantasy and Sci-Fi are her first loves and the two genres she enjoys reading and writing in the most, however, she is interested in dabbling in horror and mystery/thrillers.

When she’s not reading hundreds of books a year or writing new stories with flawed characters and magical worlds, she crochets in her free time and works in a library so she’s always surrounded by books and stories. And if she’s not doing that, she’s obsessing ​over Taylor Swift and BTS and occasionally traveling.

She lives in British Columbia with her adorable cat and family
