Bark-skinned outcast becomes queen contender through magical trial.
Beauty-obsessed parents cast infant Lina Navera into the Forbidden Forest because her bark skin and thorn hair disgust them. A witch raises the girl, and Lark loves her without condition. An enchanted stream rewrites her appearance and reveals Lark as Riviera's crown prince, already pledged to Verei. When Lina refuses to disappear, she is imprisoned and enters the Rite of Blossoms to fight for him. While Verei schemes and the forest withers, Lina uncovers a dark family secret that could change everything.
