My King of Flowers

Let me extend a warm welcome to this story and provide some author’s insight before you begin. The story you’re about to embark on is inspired by a fantastical historical setting dealing with themes of loss and recovery. It is driven by the prompt:

“A desperate wish, made from the heart, is always answered. Sooner or later.”

Inspired by a writing competition to complete a novella in three months and a group of persuasive mangoes, I took this challenge head-on and is complete. As is customary with my writing style, the narrative may explore mature themes such as trauma and personal growth. However, I will do my best to handle these themes with sensitivity and respect for the reader’s comfort.

Also, the novella features audio recordings to read along, and a General Terms section for readers who may not be familiar with the Chinese terms used throughout this novel. A link to the recordings can be found on my linktr.ee/annekatih.

Your early feedback and engagement are greatly appreciated. I hope you enjoy the unfolding story. Feel free to comment, vote, add it to your reading list, share with friends, and, if inclined, leave a review before leaving me to the peonies.

Thank you for your support, and enjoy the story.

All the best, ❤️ Anne.
