The Verdant Cage

For as long as apothecary Rose Allgood can remember, the towering stone Wall surrounding Noah's Valley has protected her people. No one leaves. No one fights. And no one questions why. But survival comes at a cost. When Rose's mother is murdered––a first in the Valley's long history––and her twin brother framed, she knows it's up to her to clear his name. Determined to find the truth, Rose follows a trail of hidden messages, forbidden knowledge, and whispers of a past no one dares to remember. The deeper she digs, the more sure Rose becomes that her mother's death was no accident. That the Wall isn’t just keeping something out.
