This is the botanical queer horror that readers never knew they needed. -- Emily Varga, bestselling author of For She Is Wrath In Hazelthorn's darkly gothic gardens, CG Drews conjures up a haunting nightmare dense with botanical horror, and in Evander, a rage-filled boy to root for. -- Amy Goldsmith, author of Those We Drown A lush, gothic tale filled with devastating twists, delicious atmosphere, and toxic family secrets.
