Briseis has a gift: with a single touch she can grow plants from tiny seeds to rich blooms.
When Briseis's aunt dies and wills her a dilapidated estate in rural New York, Bri and her parents hope that surrounded by plants and flowers, she will finally learn to control her gift. But their new home is sinister in ways they never expected-it comes with a mysterious set of instructions, a walled garden filled with the deadliest botanicals in the world, and generations of secrets. There is more to Bri's sudden inheritance than she could have imagined, and she is determined to uncover it.

I love a retelling! Especially a retelling of a story that I am not as familiar with. I love Greek mythology, and I'm obsessed with witchy books for fall. So this was pretty perfect and very timely. This is like a contemporary Circe meets Practical Magic, and that is a beautiful thing.
