Publisher's Synopsis
"Karen Hugg is the rare author who can blend wonder and suspense."
-Emily Carpenter, Author of Until the Day I Die, Every Single Secret, and Burying the Honeysuckle Girls
Botanist Andre Damazy lands on the opportunity of a lifetime when he discovers a rare medicinal apple in Kazakhstan and brings back tree cuttings to his hidden greenhouse in Paris. Growing the cuttings into trees is personal for Andre since the apples can heal people with serious illnesses, like his mother who's suffered a stroke. But a mysterious stranger constantly thwarts Andre's work, sending harassing calls and menacing effigies, stalking Andre, and vandalizing his trees. Andre doesn't understand why anyone would do this, but he wonders if it's related to a project from his past that went wrong and resulted in a deadly mistake. So with the help of his new friend Renia (The Forgetting Flower) and her street smarts, he works to outmaneuver his enemy while uncovering a larger, more dangerous plot that threatens the foundation of all that Andre holds dear, including the woman he secretly loves.
Harvesting the Sky is the second book in the Botanique Noire series which combines vivid literary prose and a thriller plot, while enticing readers with the wonder and magic of plants.
