A richly imagined dark fantasy that pulses with the beautiful destruction of a town reclaimed by the natural world.Sub-tropical Bellworth is founded on floodplains and root-bound secrets.

Then Grace arrives, desperate, with roses pressing up through her skin, and drags Charlie into the ghost-choked mysteries of Bellworth, uncovering the impossible consequences of loss and desire — and a choice Charlie made when he was a boy. But peeling back the rumors and lies that cocoon the suburb disturbs more than complacent neighbors and lost souls.
