Description

A rose elf witnesses a lover’s murder by a wicked brother, then follows jasmine planted over a buried head as flower-spirits prick the killer with poisoned dreams and bees arrive too late to find him already dead. Dark fairy justice blooms where grief and perfume meet. Spoken as when the elf of the rose still asks what the flowers will do for the dead.
