Lina Navera enters the world with bark for skin and thorns for hair, prompting her beauty-obsessed parents to abandon her in the Forbidden Forest. A witch rescues the infant and raises her among the shadows, where she forms a deep bond with Lark, the only person who sees past her appearance. An enchanted stream later transforms her reflection and reveals Lark is Riviera's crown prince, already pledged to noblewoman Verei. When Lina refuses to accept the arrangement, she is imprisoned and forced into the Rite of Blossoms, a magical contest to win his hand. As Verei schemes against her and the forest itself begins to wither, Lina uncovers a dark secret tied to her own lineage.
