The Seed of the Last Bloom

About this book

On the tropical Isle of Oros, the legendary Glimmer-Berry harvest has completely failed, plunging the island's fragile economy and community into ruin. Twelve-year-old Toby, a cynical and calculating hoarder trying to save his family's struggling guest house, watches the devastation unfold. The story then moves backward in time, peeling back the layers of deception, secret hoarding, and manipulated alliances among the islanders. As the narrative retreats to the past, it reveals the series of seemingly small, selfish decisions made by Toby and his peers that slowly compromised the volcanic soil and the island's delicate ecosystem, culminating in the original choice that sealed the island's fate.
