The Flower of the Cedar is a tale of dryads, from a time long before human history began. Lara, a young dryad, once had three hearts (as with all her kind). To recover them and bring them to life, she must set out on an unknown journey. Fearing the god of the land, who reportedly devours hearts, and inexplicably drawn to the lamia (who, tales say, revive hearts by an ominous method called guttings), she leaves her home, embarking on the heart-finding quest. For lovers of fantasy, mythology, and fairy tales—for those whose bookshelves may harbor the works of J. R. R. Tolkien, C. S. Lewis, Madeleine L’Engle, and others of their glad company—or for dabblers in mysticism and the sacred feminine—this story will doubtless have deep resonance.
