Rowan Leaves

Magic is fading. Dragons are vanishing. And Fern Oakby may be the only plantswoman stubborn enough to uncover why. Fern has little patience for society’s expectations. She would far rather be elbow-deep in soil than trapped in a ballroom, and her quiet life in Drake’s Bend suits her perfectly—until a magical storm brings a carnivorous vine and a tiny paper dragon to life. That should have been the strangest thing to happen. It isn’t. As Fern is drawn deeper into a world where ancient magic lingers, she discovers that the natural world is far stranger—and far more endangered—than anyone realises. With the help of her unconventional family, she must follow the tangled trail of magic, friendship, and danger before something precious is lost forever. This set contains: Book 1: The Stormborne Vine When a magical storm brings a deadly vine and an origami dragon to life, plantswoman Fern Oakby uncovers the first tangled roots of a mystery threatening dragonkind. Book 2: The Tattling Whisperwoods A grove of whispering trees begins spilling dangerous secrets, forcing Fern to discover who has turned ancient magic into a weapon. Book 3: The Spectral Orchid When a ghostly orchid blooms and calls a restless spirit through the veil, Fern must solve a murder before the dead claim the living. Perfect for readers who love cozy fantasy, magical botany, dragons, found family, slow-burn romance, and heroines who refuse to behave decorously.
