WARNING: This is my writing practice in a second language (English ofc), so be aware of grammar errors and sentence structure that may sound weird to you ;-;. Also writing a story in English is a complete challenge for me, but I still want to practice since it will help my studies a lot. So you might recognize a little bit of AI tone since I use it to help develop stories. feel free to leave recommendations or any suggestions; it helps me a lot. thank u.

Right below is a synopsis created by AI, I will edit it in some time.

Evelyn Shimmers has lived her entire life in the quiet village of Bellrose, surrounded by flowers, fog, and secrets no one dares to speak aloud. Raised by her warm but overly cautious aunt, she’s always been told that her mother, Olivia, was simply “gone”—a kind woman, a talented florist, a tragic story best left untouched.

But when Evelyn discovers a mysterious letter hidden in the attic of their flower shop, everything changes. The message, cryptic and unfinished, points her toward a forgotten oak tree, a buried truth, and the possibility that her mother’s past isn’t just hidden—it’s enchanted.

As strange events stir in the village—dreams that linger too long, flowers that bloom out of season, strangers with haunted eyes—Evelyn must unravel the secrets her family left behind. Alongside a reckless childhood friend and a brooding newcomer with secrets of his own, she begins a journey that will challenge everything she thought she knew about Bellrose… and herself.

Some petals only bloom in shadow. And some letters were never meant to be found.
