Capturing the essence of sisterhood with the sweetness of flowers, Season of the Dragonflies is a beguiling tale of practical magic, old secrets, and new love
“A rich, deeply satisfying debut.” — Beatriz Williams, author of The Secret Life of Violet Grant
For generations, the Lenore women have manufactured a fragrance unlike
any other. Hidden in the Blue Ridge Mountains, their perfumery guards
unique, mysterious ingredients. The Lenores’ signature elixir is the key to success for the world’s most powerful women.
Willow, the
coolly elegant matriarch, is the brains behind the operation. Her
gorgeous golden-haired daughter, Mya, is its heart and can “read” scents and envision their power to influence events. But Willow’s younger
daughter, dark-haired, soulful Lucia, claims no magical touch; wanting
no part of the family business, she has left the mountains to make her
own way in New York City.
When a divorce leaves Lucia at loose
ends, she returns to the Blue Ridge Mountains and discovers trouble
brewing. Willow is experiencing strange spells of forgetfulness. Mya is
plotting to take the reins of the business. And most ominously, the
strange, magical plants that provide the perfume’s secret ingredient
seem to be dying. With the Lenore empire at stake, Lucia has suddenly
begun to show signs of possessing her own special abilities. And her
return to the mountains — heralded by a swarm of blue dragonflies — may be
the answer they all need.
