The Library of Botanical Witchcraft

Electronic book text

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 Evergreen's library, granting her rare access to this unique repository of botanical witchlore.

It's Thalia's perfect job: to be surrounded by gilded tomes of magic and enchanted plants with minds of their own. Most importantly, it gives her the resources she needs to research, in secret, a cure for the curse that afflicts her twin sister Hebe.

If only the place wasn't teeming with troublesome witches. Witches like August Hawthorne, a post-graduate student from a distinguished line of magical botanists. August is standoffish and clearly disdainful of Thalia. But his research could be the key to helping Hebe - if Thalia can stop acting so flustered around him for long enough to find out.

As Thalia and August grow closer, time is running out for Hebe. But within Evergreen are secrets yet to be unearthed . . .
