I am Flora Everbloom, Princess of Spring, heir to the Vernal Court, daughter of Queen Rosalia herself.

At least... I was.

Funny how quickly a title can stop meaning anything.

This story begins during my second year at university, on a rainy Thursday afternoon that smelled like wet pavement and cigarette smoke. At the time, I was more worried about passing biology than fulfilling ancient prophecies or surviving court politics. I thought the hardest part of my life was keeping my roommates from discovering that the vines growing through our dorm window answered to me when I spoke.

I had no idea that by the end of that week, everything I believed about my family would be shattered.

Because this is the story of how I found my father...

...and lost my mother on the very same day.
