What happens when a writer's greatest gift
becomes the very thing strangling the story?
That is the central question running through this novella, a sharp, self-aware tale about Elara, a novelist trapped inside the overgrown garden of her own prose.
On the surface, the story follows a writer
revising a fantasy manuscript.
Underneath, it becomes something more
unsettling and more universal: a portrait of
artistic fear, creative ego, and the
difficult courage it takes to cut away what is beautiful in order to reveal what is true.
