Most stories end with a happily ever after. But mine? Well, it begins with one …
After a lonely childhood, Clara Thorne is living out her happy ending as the magically gifted gardener for the town of Moss. Sure, her closest companion is a surly hedgehog, and she’s forever stuck on the first line of her novel, but she has a home. That is, until The Goddess chooses Clara for an important quest—travel to the cursed town of Dwindle and grow them a garden. In less than a month.
Only Clara’s hiding a terrible secret: her magic doesn't work outside Moss. Worse, The Goddess has assigned the absurdly sexy, annoyingly cheerful Hesper Altanfall to keep her safe. Clara would rather eat thorns than accept help—especially since Hesper insists that Clara’s magic is bound to her heart, not her home.
Nevertheless, the two can't help growing closer as they traverse enchanted woods and share tavern beds. But with an ancient evil threatening from the shadows, saving Dwindle will require more than enchanted crops. Clara will need to unearth a magic she’s always believed impossible.

"A stunningly magical and sexy debut. Clara and Hester are the couple I’ve been waiting for—powerfully magical enemies to lovers, with a slow burn that ignited the entire book. Couple that with a beautifully whimsical world full of mermaids and orcs and fae, animal companions I was dying to snuggle (but carefully, because hedgehog), and an edge of looming darkness, and I was hooked."Rebecca Thorne, USA Today bestselling author of CAN'T SPELL TREASON WITHOUT TEA
