"Reads like a warm hug." --Rebecca Thorne, bestselling author of Can't Spell Treason Without Tea "A stunning tale of learning to let go." --Shelf Awareness A warm and hopeful story of a lonely witch consumed by grief who discovers a whimsical cast of characters in a magical arboretum and the healing power of found family. Powerless witch Saika is determined to fulfill her sister's last wish: to plant her remains at the renowned Ash Gardens. Upon her arrival at the stormy sanctuary, she meets Frank, an enormous knit-cardiganed mythical beast who offers her a caretaker role. Overwhelmed by grief, Saika accepts, postponing her farewell to her sister. However, the work requires a witch with innate power, which Saika has lost since her sister's death two years ago. She manages to cast enchantments using a fragment of a fallen star while concealing her struggles. As she immerses herself in the sanctuary, she learns about Frank, the decaying house, and the quirky staff, including bickering twin cherubs, a mute ghost, a cantankerous elf, and an irritating half-witch. Gradually, Saika rediscovers the ability to love and be loved, learning to let joy and grief coexist. This inventive tale is a stirring portrait of loss and the healing embrace of love.
