The Whispering Lattice

When botanical researcher Julian Vance and artist Clara begin cataloging the abandoned Abernathy estate's Victorian glasshouse, they uncover more than forgotten history. Deep within the overgrown iron-and-glass cage lives Flora Devotio—a strange, ancient vine that feeds on deep emotional resonance.
As their quiet romance deepens, so does the plant's hold. Clara's skin turns pearlescent, silver veins snake beneath her flesh, and she is drawn out into the midnight mist by a voice only she can hear. When Julian tries to destroy the terrifying growth, he learns a horrifying truth: to harm the vine is to kill the woman he loves.
And the garden isn't finished growing yet.
