With her dying breath, Misaki Hanazono made one modest wish. To be reborn as a beautiful flower. The universe delivered, sort of. She reincarnated as a mandrake, in a monster-infested wilderness nowhere near the peaceful human world she longed for.
Determined to claim the quiet life she’d always wanted, Misaki painstakingly sculpts herself into a human-enough form and descends into civilization. There’s just one problem she discovers a beat too late. Mandrakes kill anyone who hears their voice.
So she stays silent. Completely, stubbornly silent. Which, as it turns out, only makes her more mysterious. Before long, the locals are whispering about the enigmatic Flower Witch, and kingdom knights and court mages are showing up at her door, watching her every move.
One wrong word and she’s done for. Misaki’s new life has become the most delicate tightrope walk imaginable, hiding a monster’s truth behind a witch’s reputation.
