Ana Kalaw has magic—plant magic. And so does her entire family.
The Kalaw family’s gift has thrived in Esquina, nestled in the hills of Manabu in Batangas, long before Ana was born. Moving to this quiet place at the onset of the pandemic, Ana feels an undeniable deep sense of belonging. But lately, her magic has been acting up in the strangest ways. Once, it caused mangoes to fly through the air. On another day, it may have caused Bas Lozano, a boy she once secretly had a crush on, to fall asleep beneath the banaba trees—almost as if her magic had called him there.
Bas doesn’t remember falling asleep under those trees, but he does remember Ana. Fascinated by the greenhouse locked away mysteriously in Esquina, he is even more drawn to her.
Ana doesn’t have a spellbook to guide her through the strange connection between her and Bas—and she’s not sure one even exists. But she’s learning to trust where her magic—and her heart—will take her now that she’s finally home.
