THE BOY WHO LOVES FLOWERS; A BOTANICAL ROMANCE

KOGURE
Seventeenth-century France is a land scarred by war, famine, and political unrest. Yet in a small provincial colony, beauty still blooms. Lucien Fleurmont, the son of a potter and a florist, spends his days tending to roses, lilies, and irises—delicate blossoms that bring fleeting joy to nobles and merchants alike. Though his family is neither rich nor poor, their flowers are admired across the region, gracing tables, chapels, and even the halls of minor lords. Lucien's quiet dream is larger than his modest life: he longs to serve as a royal botanist, cultivating gardens fit for a king. But in an age where status defines destiny, such ambitions are forbidden to commoners. His hands, though skilled with roots and petals, are considered too humble for royal soil. When chance encounters with nobles draw him closer to the royal court, Lucien finds himself entangled not only in courtly intrigue but also in the delicate language of love. Among the splendor of Versailles gardens and the shadow of looming war, Lucien must navigate class divides, secret admirations, and the bittersweet truth that flowers—like love—can wither as quickly as they bloom. The Boy Who Loves Flowers; A Botanical Romance is a tender tale of ambition, beauty, and forbidden romance, set against the grandeur and peril of seventeenth-century France.
