Terlu Perna is the primary librarian in the North Reading Room of the Great Library of Alyssium. Until she casts a spell and turns a spider plant sentient. Of course, this is against the law, but she only wanted someone to talk do.

The head Sorcerers decide as her punishment they will turn her into a statue and place her in the library, to serve as a warning to all for the dangers of using magic or spells without being a trained sorcerer.

When Terlu wakes up (which she never thought she would), she finds herself in a small town of greenhouses in the presence of one lone overwhelmed gardener. She finds out that she was sent here in the hopes that she could figure out a way to reanimate all the plants and greenhouses that have been magically sent into dormancy or death. 

With the help of her young gardener and a sentient rose, Terlu embarks on a quest to save all the plants and greenhouses in this magical place.
