Eighteen-year-old Theodosia Thornwood didn’t mean to become the next Rose Master. Nor did she want her mortality to be stripped away from her. No, all she wanted was to escape her dreaded arranged wedding day.

Instead of saying, “I do”, now she keeps the secrets for the people of Ivoris, trapped within roses. But will she succumb to the bitterness of the roses, like the past Rose Master?

Along with her new life, Theodosia gains her fragmented memories back. Her past begins tugging on her heartstrings, crying out for her to solve their mysteries. And only she can put the pieces back together.

Before long, a shadow begins to haunt her every move around the castle. Where ghosts are servants and dark secrets abide, can Theodosia discover who the mysterious shadow is and find her past? Or will she let the roses become the end of her?
