Description
"Lyrical, philosophical, empathetic... perfect for fans of Usman Malik and Gautam Bhatia."
In the city of Sirvassa, where petals are currency and flowers are magic, the Caretaker tends to the Garden of Delights. He imparts temporary magical abilities to the citizens of Sirvassa, while battling a curse of eternal old age. No Delight could uplift his curse, and so he must seek out a mythical figure. A god.
When a Delight allows a young girl an ability to change reality, the Caretaker believes he’s at the end of his search. But soon a magical rot takes root in his Garden, and the Caretaker must join forces with the girl and stop it from spreading.
Even as he battles a different rot that plagues Sirvassa, he learns that Delights are always a precursor to Sorrows.
