Stolen Petals | Small Magics from the Woods Series

Details

The kodama don't plant tulips—they steal them. They take these whispers back into the woods and bury them like secrets. By spring, impossible tulips bloom in the shadows. Colors that don't have names yet. Petals that hum if you listen closely. The kodama trade the strange bulbs at their market for other small magics. Sometimes one goes missing. If you find it, plant it somewhere quiet.
