Essence

The botanical world continues to communicate in whispers to those who are willing to listen! Can you hear them? Lydia Blue and Stone Shiye have embraced their love for one another and now venture onto new heights in the second book of this Botanical Spirits series. Raya, Stone's niece spends her summer internship at the farm, adding to The Sanctuary her naturopathic skills and radiant spirit. Soon she finds a friend in Lee Wolfe, a man who knows the woods, and the ways of a lost soul. Trouble brews in the air, as the farm suffers from chemicals smothering their lands. Saving the farm from dangers nearby is only part of their story. Saving themselves from one another is the near-impossible, tumultuous journey ahead in Essence. Botanical spirits try to cover the precious lands and preserve the seedlings and sprites. Can the farm survive this threat that poisons the trees and suffocates the herbs? Will the strong connection between Raya and Lee add life or bring destruction to their summer on the farm? This unique bond will make you consider the soul's powerful ability to love, crash, and collide. Can one soul save another? *Bonus: Herbal medicine recipes at the end of this book!
