Evergreen Legacy
It's time for one more adventure at Evergreen Academy, the secret college for Magical Botanists.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 long-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 rare 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 Rhodes-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 due to scouting vines and overbearing parents, 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 of all. And if we fail, the consequences won't end at the academy's gates. They'll echo through the human world, too.Elements you'll find in this story: Third in a trilogyMagical academySecret societyForestcoreGreen academiaStronger together loveSweet, kisses-only romanceFound familyBotanical history vibesCozy nature-based magic
