Where gardens breathe
Root & Thorn
The Warden-Apprentice and the Saundered War
Where gardens breathe, and the old world stirs once more.
Field Notes — Anna's Journal
When Anna is sent to live with her unconventional Aunt Jacqueline in the countryside, she expects quiet days and distance from her fractured home life. Instead, she discovers a place where gardens breathe, flowers open to whispers, and the woods hold presences just beyond human sight.
As Anna learns to listen — truly listen — she awakens to the fae realm woven through the land. But beauty carries responsibility. Ancient agreements between humans and the hidden world are breaking down, and signs of a long-forgotten conflict are returning.
Guided by her aunt's deep, earth-rooted wisdom, Anna must grow from visitor to apprentice, and from apprentice to guardian. For the coming war will not be fought with armies alone — but with trust, connection, and the fragile bridge between worlds.
