The Tea Witch's Garden In a world that demands forgetting, Divine refuses to let go.
Divine has spent ten years half-alive-hiding her fatal illness, brewing forbidden memory teas, loving her four daughters from behind the glass walls she built after her husband left. When Warden Kael appears with moonroot bulbs from his mother's grave, their shared rebellion against Rakhmah-the law that makes remembering a crime-awakens something Divine thought dead: the capacity to feel again. As their dangerous alliance becomes forbidden love, an ancient magic stirs in her garden. The Heartbloom blooms one truth at a time, one permission granted, one wound acknowledged. But each petal that unfurls brings Divine closer to an impossible choice. Now, with her body failing and the Office closing in, Divine must decide: continue hiding to keep her daughters safe, or risk everything to give them what she never had-permission to grieve, permission to remember, permission to be fully, messively, gloriously themselves. Because the most dangerous rebellion isn't brewing illegal tea. It's teaching your daughters that love is worth the cost of feeling it.
