All her life she's lived in exile, hiding from the traitor who usurped her father's throne. But now she must return to the very kingdom she's always feared. Inion is the daughter of the last Gardener King, or so she thought. When the king reveals to her that she is not his blood daughter but that he found her in a tree the night that he fled Garradh, she begins to wonder what other secrets he's been hiding. She falls for Rian, the king's wild son with Gardener blood in his veins who not only lives in the trees but speaks to them. But Rian is forbidden to marry any woman without kings' blood. Together Rian and Inion concoct a plan to return to Garradh and solve the mystery of Inion's birth. But what they find when they arrive in the land of their birth turns everything upside down. After what she's learned about the Gardener Kings, will Inion still want to be a part of this family? This young adult fantasy novel inspired by Celtic myth and fairylore is the first in The Gardener Kings trilogy.
