"Deliciously atmospheric" --Sydney J. Shields, author of The Honey Witch

Arthur Connoway desperately wants to free himself from the monster inhabiting his mind. Instead, he is rapidly losing control of it following his mother's death. In a last-ditch effort to feel whole again--and to lay his mother's memory to rest--Arthur decides to return to the quiet bee farm he once called home, hoping their sacred honey can heal him in more ways than one.

Eight years ago, Eva Moreau's flora magic caused a terrible accident, harming her father in the process. Now, she's desperate to find a way to heal him, but her attempts only seem to do the opposite. If she could just learn to control her magic, she might be able to save her father and leave the past behind.

When Arthur returns to town looking for absolution, Eva once again loses control of her magic, putting everyone she loves in danger. Together, the pair decides to trek to the source of her family's magic to find a cure for both Arthur and her father. But there's a mysterious ghost haunting the forest, and it won't let Arthur and Eva leave the woods without confronting the secrets of their past ...
