The forest has been speaking in scent. The birds have been testing new songs. The frogs have decided it is time.

This is the third collection in our ongoing series of mythic nature storytelling—stories drawn from the awakening days of April, when the earth softens and the world begins to unfold in ways both visible and hidden.

Inside, you'll find tales of the witch who warms the wind, the trees that remember names, the light that stops on certain shoulders. You'll discover why poison ivy was given its place, how the forest speaks when no one is listening, and the right distance for everything that grows.

This volume includes bonus stories: The Shadows That Remember and a tiny tale about the moon's jealousy of the sun.

These are not explanations. They are invitations—to see the natural world as animate, intelligent, and full of old magic that has never left. To remember that nothing grows in a straight line. To understand that there are witches in the weather and wisdom in the space between trees.

For those who love lyrical fiction, nature writing, and quiet transformation.
For those who have always suspected the world is more alive than we've been told.
