TO BLEED A CRYSTAL BLOOM : Nineteen years ago, I was plucked from the heart of a bloody massacre that spared nobody else. Now ward to a powerful High Master who knows too much and says too little, I lead a simple life, never straying from the confines of an imaginary line I’ve drawn around the castle grounds. Stay within. Never leave. But when voracious beasts spill across the land and threaten to fray the fabric of my tailored existence, the petals of reality will peel back to reveal an ugly truth. But in a castle puddled with secrets, none are greater than the one I’ve kept from myself. TO SNAP A SILVER STEM : Once upon a time, my world was small and sheltered. Everything changed the moment I stepped over my Safety Line, barreling towards a coupling with a man I hardly know. Dunked in a charged political pit, I must secure the ships needed to quell the spill of murderous beasts still flooding the continent. But one wrong move could spur the war I’ve worked so hard to avoid. Crowned in the crippling weight of my mistakes, I must atone. Even if it costs me my life. TO FLAME A WILD FLOWER : I’ve tumbled into a darkness so deep it’s hard to see the light, my petals curling inward as I tip my face from the sun. My mistakes hunt me down, and I’m pulled into a political tug-of-war, balancing Ocruth’s welfare on the edge of a bloody blade. One wrong move could destroy everything. Destroy me. Lines will blur, blood will spill, and I’ll learn how fragile I really am—at a cost far greater than I could have imagined. Fate is a ravenous beast, and there’s only so far I can run.
