In the garden of the dead, memory is a dangerous bloom.
Ezria is a necromancer's apprentice, sworn to tend the Bone Garden-a sacred place where flowers grow from buried bones and each bloom reveals the memories of the deceased. It's a quiet life of reverence and routine, until one stormy night changes everything.
A black seedling sprouts from an unmarked grave.
When Ezria touches it, she doesn't see a stranger's life...
She sees her own death.
Tomorrow.
To unravel the mystery, she must defy her guild, confront forbidden magic, and descend into a labyrinth of tangled roots and fractured time. Each memory she unearths brings her closer to the truth-and to the terrifying realization that the bones beneath the garden might be hers... from the future.
A dark fantasy of necromancy, memory magic, and fate-bound loops, Whispers in the Root weaves gothic atmosphere with haunting mystery. Perfect for fans of Tamsyn Muir, Leigh Bardugo, and dark magical worlds where every secret has a soul.
