Klappentext

Welcome to Evergreen Academy, the secret college for Magical Botanists. I'd always sensed something peculiar about the reclusive Evergreen Academy, tucked deep in the woods of my hometown. But I never could have imagined it was a college for magical botanists-and that I am one of them. An invitation to the academy opens up a whole new world of wonder, yet my plant affinity powers remain elusive, and my scientific training is far behind that of my peers. When I'm assigned a tutor, Callan Rhodes, a powerful descendant of the academy's founders, I'm baffled by his willingness to help me. Despite my challenges, I'm enchanted by the academy's glass schoolhouse, its grounds which are overflowing with plants that defy the climate, and the quirky festivals held each equinox and solstice. But disaster looms as the verdant shield that protects the academy from the prying eyes of nonmagical people begins to falter. Can Callan and the other founder's descendants sustain the magic on their own, or will the clock finally start to tick on figuring out my powers? Elements you'll find in this story:Magical academy Plant magic Small town setting Cozy fantasy Light academia Science-based magic system Slow burn romance (no spice) First person POV An enchanting world And so much more
