The garden is only the beginning.

Paloma never intended to stay. What she inherited was nothing more than land—dry, quiet, and seemingly ordinary.

But some places are not what they appear.

Beneath the surface...something waits.

As outside forces push closer, determined to take what they do not understand, Paloma is forced to confront a truth that was never meant to be uncovered. The land she stands on is alive with secrets—layered, protected, and choosing who is allowed to see it.

And when Caelen arrives with intentions that threaten everything she is trying to protect, both are pulled into a world neither of them expected... and neither can walk away from unchanged.

Because some places are meant to remain

hidden—

and some are worth protecting at any cost.
