The Bone Gardens: Secrets of the Eternal Wardens

In the ethereal realm of Aethel, where crystalline trees bloom from the bones of the departed, Elara Everild, the village gravedigger, unearths a secret far more vibrant – and dangerous – than any she's encountered in the Bone Gardens.  A hidden garden, pulsing with forbidden life, whispers of forgotten necromancers, the Eternal Wardens, and their unsettling ambition to raise a skeletal army from the very heart of her world.
From this vibrant garden emerges Osric Thorne, a boy with jade skin and eyes like embers, a living embodiment of the garden’s power. He is both guide and enigma, bound to Elara by a shared secret and a growing connection that blurs the lines between duty and desire.  As the charismatic Valerius Blackwood leads the Wardens in their terrifying rituals, the Bone Gardens twist into a chilling reflection of their dark intent. The crystalline trees awaken, their gemstone leaves sharpening into blades, and Elara is forced to choose: preserve the sanctity of the dead or wield the hidden garden's forbidden power to protect the living.
But the Wardens' resurrection ritual demands a living sacrifice, and Valerius sets his sights on Elara's younger sister. Now, with the help of Osric’s forbidden knowledge and a desperate alliance with the village healer, Elara must navigate the treacherous paths of the hidden garden, uncovering its secrets and battling the encroaching darkness.  As ancient lore and whispered warnings intertwine, Elara discovers that the fight for Aethel’s survival rests not only on her courage but also on a sacrifice that will break her heart and forever change the balance between life and death. The whispers of the departed intensify, a chilling reminder that some secrets are best left buried.
