Before the Garden remembered, there was a boy who was afraid to forget.
Eight-year-old Aiko has never thought to memorize his father.
Why would he?
Eiji is everywhere-in the garage beneath the hood of his race car, beside Aiko on the soccer field, at the kitchen stove making blueberry pancakes, and in every ordinary moment Aiko assumes will always be there.
Until one morning changes everything.
When grief enters Aiko's world, something impossible begins calling to him.
A hidden doorway opens.
Silver light moves beneath ancient roots.
And beyond it waits Nimori no Niwa-a mysterious Garden filled with memories that refuse to disappear.
There Aiko meets Kage, an old and watchful guardian who knows the Garden better than anyone. But even Kage is unsettled by what is happening.
Because Nimori has never behaved this way before.
The Garden is interested in Aiko.
As forgotten memories begin to awaken and the eight great Roots-Grief, Compassion, Love, Humility, Patience, Empathy, Wonder, and Purpose-reveal themselves, Aiko discovers that remembering is about more than holding tightly to the people we have lost.
Some memories need someone to carry them.
And the Garden may have chosen him to do exactly that.
But the more Aiko carries, the more Nimori asks of him.
Until remembering begins to cost him something he never imagined he could lose.
Before there were Keepers, there was Aiko.
Before the Garden knew how to remember, it had to learn grief.
The story of Nimori begins here.
We enter the Garden.
