The Princess Who Collected Forgotten Seasons

By Joshua J Binford

Princess Lyrene has grown up in Aethelgard, a kingdom where flowers never wither, harvests never fail, and summer never ends. Her father, King Lawrence, is celebrated as a ruler who defeated death and created a perfect paradise for his people. But beneath the kingdom's flawless beauty, something is terribly wrong.When Lyrene witnesses a perfect lily suddenly decay before her eyes, she begins to question the world she has always known. Her search leads her into the forbidden Royal Archives, where she uncovers a horrifying truth: the natural cycle of the seasons has been broken, and the spirits of Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter have been imprisoned to maintain her father's eternal paradise.As Lyrene ventures beyond the safety of the palace, she encounters the forgotten children of the seasons and sees the terrible consequences of her father's obsession with perfection. Orchards are collapsing, crops are dying, and a kingdom that has never known hardship is suddenly forced to confront cold, rain, decay, and loss. Yet Lyrene begins to understand that these things are not signs of destruction-they are essential parts of life's renewal.To restore the world, Lyrene must confront the painful truth behind her own existence. Her father's desperate love once saved her life by stealing the power of the seasons, but his attempt to protect his daughter transformed an entire kingdom into a beautiful prison.The Princess Who Collected Forgotten Seasons is an atmospheric fantasy about love, control, sacrifice, and the courage to embrace change. It asks a haunting question: if you could create a world where nothing ever died, would you also accept a world where nothing could truly live?Perfect for readers who enjoy lyrical fantasy, magical kingdoms, emotional family secrets, personified seasons, and stories about discovering that sometimes the greatest act of love is learning how to let go.
