In a village where stars have vanished and memories can be rewritten, one woman returns to uncover the truth buried in her bloodline—and in the soil.

After the death of her estranged father, historian Elira Vane returns to Starhollow, a forgotten village where no stars shine, and no one dares to remember why. But when a missing child echoes a decades-old tragedy, and Elira begins to see memories bloom from her late mother's sealed garden, she realizes the truth was never lost—it was hidden.

At the center of it all lies a flower that can alter memory, a garden that holds living secrets, and a mysterious mute gardener who knows more than he reveals. As Elira unearths her family's dark legacy and the village's pact of collective amnesia, she must choose: preserve the peace of forgetting—or risk everything to restore what was stolen from the sky, and from herself.

The Garden of Hollow Stars is a haunting literary fantasy blending mystery, gothic atmosphere, and emotional depth. Perfect for readers of Erin Morgenstern, T. Kingfisher, and fans of The Memory Police and The Starless Sea, this story asks: What if the only way to heal is to remember what hurt us most?
