The Library of Botanical Witchcraft - a whimsical, light academia fantasy about magical plants, dusty books and blossoming love

The Evergreen Conservatoire of Botanical Witchcraft is off limits to anyone without magical gifts.

But Thalia Sylvestre has just landed herself a prestigious job as an assistant in the conservatoire's library and herbarium, granting her rare access to this unique repository of botanical witchlore.

It's Thalia's perfect job: surrounded by the gilt-edged leaves of books and the sunlit leaves of plants. Most importantly, it gives her the resources she needs to research, in secret, a cure for the curse that afflicts her twin sister Hebe.

But what Thalia doesn't count on is August.

August Hawthorne is a post-graduate research student from a distinguished line of botanical witches. He is unbearably standoffish. And he is constantly getting in the way when Thalia's trying to conduct top-secret curse research. It's almost as if he, too, is up to something . . .

As Thalia and August grow closer, secrets will be revealed, hearts will be worn on sleeves and curses will (hopefully) be broken. But at what cost?
