Growing Amaranth

Legends of Draven, Book 1

By: Toney Larson

Narrated by: Naomi Rose-Mock

For as long as she can remember, the cottage has been the whole world.

Amaranth has never known a life outside of the walls of her mother’s quaint cottage. With its magnificent gardens, the cottage has served as a wonderland of adventure and contentment her entire life. Without a care or concern for the outside world, Amaranth lives in peaceful ignorance—until the day that she meets William.

Suddenly the world is a much bigger place.

Even though she was raised to believe that boys are evil and untrustworthy, Amaranth cannot help but fall for the kind and gentle William. It is only when their dalliance is uncovered that Amaranth begins to realize the true darkness within the cottage. Torn between first love and the love of her mother, Amaranth must navigate her way through the shadows and decide who she truly is.
