Contemporary fantasy with elements of romance, some steamy bits, and a twist on a popular creation myth.

Lil has lived a life of quiet seaside anonymity with her coffee shop family, not wanting to call attention to what makes her different for fear of the greed that power can inspire. But with escalating dreams and surges in her abilities, (when she accidentally grows a garden from a corpse...) Lil decides to explore what she's capable of before losing control results in casualties.

Lil's journey of discovery takes her across countries, to a museum and ancient archives. When she sees a five-hundred-year-old sketch of the man from her dreams, she realizes there's more to him than what she's seen while asleep. When he appears in waking life, she learns that the stone around her neck is not only an artifact, but a reminder of who she is, what happened in The Garden, and his promise to always find her.
