At the Edge of the Unmade Garden
When a public garden begins growing the outline of a vanished prison, ruin gardener Vera Moss stops the cutters meant to hide it. Fae architect Auren Kest arrives to make the ground safe and the record quiet—until living roots contradict every plan he ever signed. Forced to survey a map that remembers stone, not private grief, they work through tunnels, a displaced kitchen, and a wall that will not forgive haste. Desire rises in small acts of care and in the costly habit of telling the truth. To keep both the evidence and the people still housed beside it, they must restore what the city denied—and choose a future they can tend without erasing the past. Free sample available.
