Once upon a time...is not what I'd describe this story with. Tales of trouble, magic, battles, and female empowerment will fill the forest of your mind as you traverse the dying country of Gardenia. Poverty and sickness release their wrath onto the land, killing thousands of people. Lily, a fierce blonde, only thinks of her struggling family, and when a very unusual opportunity involving the castle strikes, she snatches it. She discovers hidden secrets and evil beings, finally understanding the real reason for Gardenia's sudden decline. Looking deep within herself, she unlocks a power unknown to her--or anyone else, for that matter. As she fights her way through jealous nobles, mysterious strangers, and occasional knife fights, Lily is able to unleash her true self with the power of the Bolinia flower. Oh, and she might find some love along the way too. Join Lily on her journey to maturity, power, and romance!
