Society of Magical Botanists

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?

After an eventful winter break, my spring experience at Evergreen Academy promises to be much more than the typical garden parties, botany classes, and equinox festivals. My friends and fellow members of the secretive Root and Vine Society are on a mission: recover a missing botanical book that may be the key to saving Evergreen Academy from the tightening grip of the Magical Botanical Board of Regents. The journey to find the book will take us to unexpected places, push the boundaries of my magic, and force us to examine how much our society knows about the magical botanists who came before us. Through it all, I'm stealing romantic moments with Callan–my former tutor and now partner in crime–who is just as dedicated to saving the academy as I am. We tried to delay our feelings, but we can't quite seem to keep the creeping tendrils of our hearts apart for long. One thing is certain: the opposing forces at Evergreen Academy are headed for a showdown, and the fight won't just be waged with spells and vines. The battle for Evergreen Academy will be won through friendship, teamwork, and uncovering the deepest roots. And if we fail, the consequences won't end at the academy's gates.

Welcome back to Evergreen Academy, the secret college for Magical Botanists. Ever since enrolling at Evergreen Academy last year, I have struggled to belong in the elite world of plant magic and affinity powers. And thanks to a curse tied to a decision I made on the spring equinox, I'm further from fitting in than ever. When I'm invited to join a mission to uncover a long-lost magical artifact, it feels like my chance to prove myself-and help protect the academy, which appears to be under threat by the increasingly present Magical Botanical Board of Regents. As the new academic year unfolds, I'm navigating an unexpected field studies assignment, the mysteries of my elusive powers, and my growing feelings for my impossibly attractive and possibly off-limits tutor, Callan Rhodes. But when the mission to find the artifact takes us beyond the safety of the academy's verdant shield, I realize the stakes may be greater than I imagined. Can we succeed in recovering the artifact, or are we about to unearth more than we bargained for?
