Hamish, a successful artist whose personal tragedies have left him broken and exhausted, is tired of London and life. He doggedly searches for a new home in the south of England, believing that if he can find the perfect place in a countryside location it might give him the boost he needs to get his life back on track. His quest leads him to a forgotten corner of Kent and White Briars; a delightful Gothic cottage in a run-down but idyllic garden setting. Moving into the cottage, Hamish belatedly discovers that the garden holds more than he bargained for – as it is already home to Liana, an immortal flower sylph whose prolonged grief makes his losses pale into insignificance. Liana has slept years away in an attempt to hide from the repeated anguish of losing those she loves ...but her absence has left a vacuum. In reawakening Liana, the garden’s Guardian inadvertently quickens another less friendly spirit that had once been banished. While battling reawakened Green Jack, Liana and Hamish must find a way to help one another to heal –and by doing so, hopefully begin a process that will allow the Garden to recover its former harmony and balance.
