A fast read and a delightful one.”–Mary McMyne, author of The Book of Gothel“An atmospheric and lush world of magic and intrigue. … The setting is well crafted and lovingly detailed, the characters are beautifully alive, and the central mystery is compelling. Parker casts a delightful spell with alternating perspectives and carefully revealed mysteries.

Liz Parker loves gardening, a good cup of tea, and the kind of story that sinks its hooks into you and refuses to let go. She grew up with her time split between Tennessee and Nevada, giving her a love for the kind of magic you can only find on a hot summer night when the fireflies float drunk on humidity or beneath a cloudless desert sky lit by stars and possibility. Today, Liz lives in California with her husband, dog, and too many houseplants to name (though she could if you asked).
