Today we’re excited to host a cover reveal for Petals of Suspicion by D. Hale Rambo, the first book in the new Blooms of Arcana series, a regency fantasy of magic, mystery, and the language of flowers.
Intrigued? Then let’s find out more:
She came to London to grow a future. Instead, she found a mystery in bloom.
Hazel Honeyfield came to London to live with her uncle, the only family she has left, and maybe, just maybe, secure a future of her own. But when she arrives to find him murdered, her spark of hope fades. Honeyfield’s Herbalism may be hers, but so is every secret her uncle left behind. If the whispers about his work ruin his reputation, her future wilts with it.
Armed with bloomcraft, a spellbinding magic rooted in the meanings of flowers, Hazel turns from herbalist to amateur sleuth, navigating London’s expectations of propriety and the Horticultural Society’s scrutiny. Her only clue? A single petal left behind at the scene, unlike anything she’s ever seen.
To protect her inheritance, Hazel must uncover the truth buried in the blooms and contend with Sir Miles William Ellis, a principled gentleman who may be more of a help—or hindrance—than he appears.
Petals of Suspicion is Book 1 in the Blooms of Arcana series, blending fantasy and cozy mystery. Perfect for readers who love Regency-era manners, the language of flowers, and slow-burn romance.
