The Greenhouse of Dangerous Wishes

At Meridian Glasshouse, wishes are supposed to disappear into the roots. Someone has found a way to make them grow.Etta Sorrell, a rabbit horticultural mage, has spent eleven years proving that dangerous plants deserve better than frightened officials and an incinerator.Rhea Calder is one of those officials-or, as the Bengal tiger quarantine inspector would put it, the person who knows what happens when a living hazard crosses the wrong line. She and Etta have disagreed professionally for years. Now a sealed specimen is acting on a wish it should have metabolized days ago.Soon unrelated plants are expressing the same desires. Roots are crossing barriers. The glasshouse's rarest tree, believed sterile, is preparing to flower for the first time in recorded cultivation.Someone has been feeding it wishes.To keep the greenhouse from becoming a city-sized distribution system for every private want it has absorbed, Etta and Rhea must share control of the investigation. They will have to decide what can be rehabilitated, what must be cut away, and how much trust can exist between preservation and quarantine.Falling for each other was not included in the containment plan.Set in a fully anthropomorphic world where rabbit ears, tiger tails, and species-shaped workplaces are ordinary life, The Greenhouse of Dangerous Wishes is a standalone adult sapphic fantasy romance with dry humor, dangerous botanical magic, a substantial mystery, and a hard-won happily-ever-after.
