Flourish

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.

Ila's season continues, despite the growing hole in her heart. She's been blessed by the de Dannan but it feels like she's been cursed, too.

With danger sprouting up at every turn, and new heartbreak winding around her like a patient, angry vine, Ila must find her own light within the darkness. She never expected to find so much pain on her season, never expected to be surrounded by so much darkness.

Tuatha is blooming far faster than anyone expected, and while the Monocots sit on their thrones untouched, the rest of Tuatha suffers. The more the flowers flourish, the less louloudi there are to see it, and Ila cannot stomach such devastation, not if there's a chance she can do something about it. 

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