Hanasaki ravages the Blooming Courts of Tuatha. . .

The louloudi are meant to flourish for a thousand years before they return to the Earth. Death has been a distant foe for so long, no one spares it any thought. Until now. As sickness sweeps through the kingdom, with the cure always just out of reach, the courts have never been filled with so many blossoms. Even in death, they breathe life.

As Ila is paraded through the Blooming Courts and presented as the Orchidasi heir, she learns there are more secrets buried in history than she ever suspected. With the weight of a reality she was sheltered from now resting on her shoulders, she must find out the truth about who she is.

Hanasaki surrounds the Princess at every turn and though her dangerous world threatens her life, Ila searches for answers. New, surprising blessings sprout up around her, but Ila worries the blessings may only be new gilded cages in disguise. When Tuatha tests Ila, she’ll find out exactly what she’s made of.

After all, the courts aren’t the only things that must bloom. . .
