The Blooming Warlock
In the vast, ever-shifting lands of Florencia, magic is not drawn from the elements, but from the essence of flora. Warlocks and witches cultivate their power through ancient botanical rites, wielding spells infused with the soul of plants. The rarest flowers grant immense power—some can heal, some can destroy, and some can bend reality itself.
Kieran Ashthorne, a rogue warlock with eyes like the burning sky and hands stained with forbidden magic, has lived his life as a mercenary, selling his skills to the highest bidder. He’s infamous, not just for his talent, but for his cursed lineage—descended from a bloodline that once shattered the balance of magic.
But when Kieran stumbles upon the legendary Blood Lotus, a flower said to rewrite fate itself, he does something no one expects—he offers it instead of wielding it.
To who?
To a runaway princess, Isolde Varelle, the last heir to a kingdom overrun by an apocalyptic force known as the Rotborn—beings of decay that corrupt magic itself. Isolde, once sheltered, must now learn to fight, and Kieran, for the first time, must learn what it means to protect rather than destroy.
Together, they embark on a quest to restore lost flora, rediscover ancient warlock covens, and outrun bounty hunters, treacherous gods, and the shadows of their pasts.
But magic is fickle, and the more they use the power of plants, the more they realize—the flowers are watching them back.
