Where Shadows Bloom (The Whisper of the Roots: Secrets of Ancient Magic)

In an ancient forest where light and darkness intertwine on the border between worlds, the life of a girl with eyes of dawn and the destiny of a cursed prince intersect beneath the ancient trees. Akira enters the forbidden territory to save her brother, but discovers the Guardian of Darkness—a man whose heart is locked in centuries of sorrow.

As ancient prophecies unfold and the forest demands its choice, the two must decide: what is true love, and what is the cost of preserving it when the world demands that the price be paid with your memory? An epic and poetic tale about transience, self-sacrifice, and the shadows that turn into light.
