About this ebook
A ghostly swarm of bees haunt Elizabeth. They coat strangers in pollen while holding her still, making her watch.
Then they come for her. Sting her. Give her magical power, but at such a cost.
Why do they attack her? What do they want? And how can she make them go away?
Set in the same world as "The Midnight Gardener" and "Lost Stars".
Part of the Uncollected Anthology series, written for the theme, "Bewitching Love."
