Description
Rooted in memory and threaded with magic, this luminous story follows Lucy, a long-awaited fifth daughter of the House of Hua—whose rare gift of summoning true love fails at the worst possible moment. Fleeing Vancouver and the legacy that nearly broke her, she rebuilds her life in Toronto, running a small perfume shop where she creates “ordinary” scents and tries to leave the extraordinary past behind. But when a death in the family forces her back, Lucy inherits a centuries-old register of secrets, formulas, and forgotten truths that pull her into the lives—and choices—of the women who came before her. As she traces the tangled lines of love, power, and identity, Lucy must decide whether her magic is truly gone or simply waiting for her to define what it means to belong. With lyrical, character-driven storytelling and a romantic, spellbound sensibility, this novel explores the expectations we inherit—and the courage it takes to rewrite them.
