The Immortal Bloom

Do not trust the handsome tailor. Do not plant the stolen seeds. And whatever you do, do not fall for the man with secrets as ancient as the gods.

I’m a botanist on the run. My secret isn’t just that I stole world-altering seeds from my dangerous ex—it’s that they’re starting to grow. The charming town of St. Helena was meant to be my sanctuary, a place to hide and study my discovery in peace.

Then I meet Elias. The town’s grumpy tailor is as magnetic as he is mysterious. He watches me with stormy eyes that hold the weight of centuries, and he promises protection. But I soon learn that some secrets are buried for a reason.

When my past finds me, it’s not just an academic rival at my door—it’s a malevolent god who wants what I’ve grown. To protect me, Elias is forced to reveal his own truth: he’s Zeus, the fallen king of Olympus, and my garden is now the battleground for a celestial war.

I was never meant to be a player in a divine game. But what if the power they’re all fighting over isn’t just in the seeds? What if it’s in me?
