Iris Thorne wakes in Damarose-a town that shouldn't exist. The streets feel familiar, but nothing is right. The people, the mirrors, even the house that claims to be hers whisper with something deeper than memory. Beneath the surface lies the Bloom Project, an experiment cloaked in beauty and violence, where identity is torn apart and rewritten. As Iris unravels the truth about herself, she's hunted by grotesque reflections of who she might have been-or who she was made to become. Each step forward leads deeper into a world of decay, control, and haunting ritual. Terrifying, lyrical, and unrelentingly original, The Weight of Wildflowers is a debut that makes it impossible to look away. Perfect for fans of Midsommar, Vivarium, and the darker works of Shirley Jackson, it dares to ask: what if the scariest thing you could become... was yourself?
