Enchanted Whispers of the...

Hoang Nguyen

Hidden within the forgotten grove of Sylvana, where herbalists brew elixirs from whispering leaves and wandering bards strum melodies that coax flowers to bloom, healer Elara discovers a kindred spirit in Finn, a bard exiled for songs that reveal too many truths. Their bond, sealed with a potion of moon-kissed petals and a lute string vow, awakens the grove's dormant magic—or risks a blight from jealous wood sprites. As they traverse dew-laced paths and canopy-shaded glens, pursued by echo thieves and floral guardians, Elara's herbal wisdom entwines with Finn's melodic charm, uncovering an ancient grove legend of harmonious bloom. When a silenced lute summons thorned illusions, they must brew their love into an antidote. In the hush of enchanted whispers, where every petal holds a note and every melody stirs the soil, their secret becomes the root that nourishes eternal spring.

The Gifts of Asti

Andre Norton

The Gifts of Asti by Andre Norton - She was the guardian of the worlds, but HER world was dead.
Even here, on the black terrace before the forgotten mountain retreat of Asti, it was possible to smell the dank stench of burning Memphir, to imagine that the dawn wind bore upward from the pillaged city the faint tortured cries of those whom the barbarians of Klem hunted to their prolonged death. Indeed it was time to leave—
Varta, last of the virgin Maidens of Asti, shivered. The scaled and wattled creature who crouched beside her thigh turned his reptilian head so that golden eyes met the aquamarine ones set slantingly at a faintly provocative angle in her smooth ivory face.
"We go—?"
She nodded in answer to that unvoiced question Lur had sent into her brain, and turned toward the dark cavern which was the mouth of Asti's last dwelling place. Once, more than a thousand years before when the walls of Memphir were young, Asti had lived among men below. But in the richness and softness which was trading Memphir, empire of empires, Asti found no place. So He and those who served Him had withdrawn to this mountain outcrop. And she, Varta, was the last, the very last to bow knee at Asti's shrine and raise her voice in the dawn hymn—for Lur, as were all his race, was mute.
Even the loot of Memphir would not sate the shaggy headed warriors who had stormed her gates this day. The stairway to Asti's Temple was plain enough to see and there would be those to essay the steep climb hoping to find a treasure which did not exist. For Asti was an austere God, delighting in plain walls and bare altars. His last priest had lain in the grave niches these three years, there would be none to hold that gate against intruders.
