To my Readers,

This story evolved from immense inspiration and passion. Book one is a story of hidden magic, botanical mysteries, enduring legacy, and a hotel that holds more secrets than NYC could ever comprehend.

Watching book one transform from a quiet idea into a fully realized world has been one of the greatest thrills of my life. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

I cannot wait for you to discover what lies ahead…

Yours Truly, 

The Emerald Author
