Now that we’re finally PM official—my debut novel will be out NEXT YEAR! I love this book with my whole heart, and it’s been such a weird and winding journey to get here. I have so things to say and people to thank and it’s very overwhelming, but I’m so so excited to bring this book to the world. 🪐

Elodie, born with rare memory magic, shows historian Vivian around a botanical garden in hopes of solving a century-old disappearance—only to uncover a twisted, monstrous memory instead.

It’s hungry. It’s angry. It wants Elodie.
