Synopsis
A romantic tale of wizardry and botany!He is a sentient plant.Herb Moss is a nice young man. He&’s a Vegan: a member of a genetically engineered species, part human and part plant, living on the planet New World. It&’s a good life, really: Herb&’s engaged to be married to his childhood sweetheart, Lily; has a job with his father&’s firm; and can look forward to a solid if unexciting future. And as everyone keeps telling him, it&’s time to put down roots. If he happens to be bored every time he thinks about it—well, that&’s a normal part of growing up, isn&’t it? But still, Herb&’s bored. Surely, he thinks, a little romantic correspondence on the side can do no harm . . .She&’s a magician&’s daughter . . . Meanwhile, far away on the planet New Land, a nice young woman named Spring is feeling anything but bored. She just wishes she were. She&’s been living with her widowed father, Gabriel, a practicing sorcerer, keeping house and helping out with the business. It&’s been a good life . . . . . . with a big secret. But Gabriel has discovered hitherto-unknown magical secrets that can bring their possessor great riches, absolute power, and forbidden knowledge. To keep them safe, he&’s sorcerously locked them deep within his daughter&’s mind, where only her own true love—or, failing that, someone she likes a lot—can access them . . . so to speak.Trouble ensues.When Gabriel is killed under suspicious circumstances, Spring flees to the austere Order of Companions. There, grieving and lonely, she places a personal ad, looking for a pen pal with whom she can discuss botany. Little does she know that she&’s actually placed an ad in Play Plant magazine, and that her new pen pal, Herb, thinks she&’s interested in romance.Meanwhile, an ambitious wizard has learned of the existence of Spring&’s secrets. And he&’ll do anything to get them . . . including the obvious.
