"Coven of the Elder Blossom; Elder Blossom Book One" book cover. Green speech bubble with a 5-star review from Rory (arc reader). Daryl/Author logo in green. Text: This book hit me right in that sweet spot between magic and memory. It's a beautiful story that explores identity, belonging, and the "power" of chosen family. A little eerie, a bit emotional, and so immersive and relatable. Would recommend, would read again. Great debut novel!

Coven of the Elder Blossom - OUT NOW!
A queer collective of witches draw their power from enchanted flowers, sacred gifts passed down through generations. Ancient rituals meet modern resilience as they unite to protect their magic, legacy, and identity.

October 5 (1726, 1840)
A couple of very notable birthdays 🎂

1726: the Chevaliere d'Eon is born; soldier, diplomat, spy, d'Eon is often seen as an early trans figure in history.

1840: Scholar John Addington Symonds was born #otd. He was a pioneer in Queer History.
