> On the night she vanished, Lila wasn't just walking home; she was stepping into a nightmare meticulously crafted for her. > She wakes in a pristine cellar, not as a prisoner for ransom, but as the newest "blossom" in a chilling collection. Her captor, a man who calls himself "The Gardener," doesn't want her body or her love. He wants her obedience. He wants to strip away her identity and remold her into a perfect, pure, and silent part of his twisted "family." > Alongside other captive girls, each renamed after a flower, Lila learns the terrifying rules of the garden: any sign of individuality, any memory of the outside world, is a weed that The Gardener brutally "prunes." Her only goal is survival. > As her desperate family and friends search for a ghost, Lila must fight to keep her mind from breaking. In a place where psychological torture is a daily ritual, she discovers that the only way out is to become more ruthless than the monster who holds them captive. But in this garden, freedom has a price, and it's paid in blood.
