The Giftwright Book 3: The Glass Rose

When an enchantress arrives at the Giftwright workshop before dawn with a dying rose and an impossible request, apprentice Neve faces a commission unlike any he has attempted before. A ten-year-old prince has been cursed, his life bound to the flower's decay. The enchantress wants twenty-one years of preservation. Hollis can manage eleven. And eleven years of star-forged glass holding against time, transport, and the weight of a curse will require more than one craft can provide.

Three crafts. One rose. No room for failure.

Neve knows who to call. He has worked with Mira before, the cobbler's daughter whose understanding of flex and fracture saved an impossible pair of slippers. He tells himself this is a professional decision. Hollis is not convinced. Neither, quietly, is Mira.

A Rose in Glass is the third book in the Giftwright Tales, a cozy fantasy series about memory, mercy, and the things skilled hands can build when they work together.
