Seeds in the City: Book 2 Sword, Tree, and Garden Trilogy

By Dennis Cravens

Years after Ilan's death at Greycut, the kingdom still isn't at peace-and a new religious-political force has filled the vacuum: the Order of the Brand, promising justice, unity, and safety if everyone will submit to one story, one symbol, one history At its heart stands Seren, recast as a reformer, and Ilan himself-now a polished martyr-saint whose legend barely resembles the fallible man Lysa remembers.

Lysa is older now: a traveling chronicler with a deepening root-sense, carrying bundles of seeds and plain-calf codices from Greenhollow downriver-only to find her Chronicle already being rewritten into a "cleansed" version made "safer for the weak-hearted."

As Mara's quiet garden-network spreads through alleys, coasts, and river towns, the Order invites-and half-summons-Lysa toward Crownspire to help "correct" the history. Between Harbor of Lanterns, the road towns, and the capital, she must decide whether to fight for control of the story from above, or keep giving it away from below-seed, questions, and hard truth in ordinary hands.

Perfect for readers who want:
- Epic fantasy where the central battle is for memory, conscience, and community

- A serious tone with stubborn hope-shared meals, friendships, and small wins

- Gardens and "root-sense" magic used for mercy, not domination
