After I accidentally set the campus greenhouse on fire, expulsion is on the table. Unless I work off every bit of the damage, dawn to dusk, until the semester ends. And the guy I have to answer to is Linden-seven-foot something, shoulders like a barn door, and the kind of smile that makes everyone's heart melt, including mine. He wakes seeds with a touch, knows every plant by name, and calls me \"Sparks\" even though I hate it. I try to be unimpressed. My magic... does not cooperate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe more time we spend together-hauling charred debris, coaxing scorched beds back to life, rebuilding the whole ruined conservatory pane by pane-the calmer my storms get. A part of me wants to be with him, to give happiness a chance. But dryads are bound to their heartwood. Can I really commit to a guy who has to answer to the trees to keep his power?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLinden\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cbr\u003eI like sunshine, water, and Cass Reed. I take care of the Grove, the bees, and anyone who wanders in looking tired. Cass pretends he doesn't need help and I pretend I don't notice his magic going haywire every time I'm near. I'm a simple guy. I lift heavy things, coax saplings to grow, and make Cass laugh at least once a day. I'd love nothing more than to sweep him up in my arms and run away, the two of us bonded forever.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut roots matter. If I'm away from the Heartwood too long, I fade. And now a development company has bought up my family's grove and means to raze it to the ground. I'm graduating with roots I can't dig up, and Cass still has two years left at Widdershins. Our paths seem to be diverging.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI have a forest that counts on me to survive.
