Description
Legends of the past hold the key to unlock their futures.
Flora has spent her entire life hiding in the trees and ignoring the cursed, poisonous larkspur growing from her ankle and eating away at her life. She lets her anxiety and fear control her, but fate forces her hand when her adopted mother is kidnapped by a cruel witch. The only way to save her is to find the magic shards of her family’s amulet scattered throughout her land.
With no time to waste, Flora sets out with her best friend, and along the way they meet a darkly intriguing stranger. But Flora is running out of time and can’t succumb to distractions. If she trusts the wrong person or lets her anxiety win, Flora risks losing more than just her mother …
Advance Praise
“Dripping with atmosphere so visceral you can feel it, The Age of Larkspur is a twisty, romantic adventure that strikes the perfect balance between shadows and light. Flora is such a relatable protagonist and her budding relationship with the mysterious Kaanan is wonderfully swoony. A fabulous debut.”-- Keshe Chow, author of The Girl With No Reflection
"A well-plotted fantasy tale that hums with magic, adventure, and a dash of romance."--Kimberly Baer, author of Out of Body
"Larkspur is a captivating read full of familial strife, a fascinating magic system, and a deeply relatable heroine who you can't help but root for."--Michelle Kulwicki, author of At the End of the River Styx
"The themes of bravery, trust, and the power of self-discovery are sure to resonate deeply with the target YA audience, leaving them with a sense of hope and admiration for Flora's resilience."--K.C. Finn, Readers Favorite 5 Star Review
