Synopsis
In the misty quiet of Blackroot Hollow, Maren tends to her garden and ignores the glass monstrosity on the hill, until its owner, Julian, collapses on his lawn coughing up rubies. Drawn into a world of horrific opulence, Maren discovers that Julian's Midas touch is a parasitic curse eating his soul. When the gold begins to claim him fully, Maren must use her humble magic to forge a bond strong enough to share a burden that cannot be cured.
