**Premise:**
Book-smart alchemist apprentice Elianna Vance arrives in the quaint village of Wispwillow Creek, eager to learn practical skills from her kind new master. Her perfectly planned future is upended when a mysterious magical illness, the Glimmer-Fade, begins to leech the life and color from the village, shrugging off every traditional remedy she knows. To find a cure, Elianna must partner with the one person who distrusts her academic methods most: Zorien Croft, a reclusive and grumpy botanist with an unparalleled knowledge of the local flora.

Forced into a reluctant partnership, their clashes over theory versus intuition slowly kindle an intellectual and emotional connection that neither expected. Their investigation will lead them from the sun-dappled village into the depths of a hidden, glowing cave to find the environmental source of the affliction. To save her new home and the man she’s growing to love, Elianna must risk it all, combining her scholarly knowledge with newfound intuition to brew a cure before the last glimmer of Wispwillow Creek fades forever.
