Paperback. In a town this pretty, even the flowers have secrets.Maple Glade has never had a flower show. So when the town's first in eighty years is set to open in Ivy Baxter's beautiful new Victorian glasshouse, the whole of the little seaside town holds its breath. Until, on the morning of the judging, celebrity gardener Zinnia Vane is found dead beneath a fallen roof vent, and everyone agrees it was a tragic accident.Mystery writer Jade Reed does not agree. Zinnia came home to Maple Glade after a lifetime away, carrying a secret and a gift that could finally end a bitter fifty-seven-year feud over a locked and famous garden - and she told Jade, an hour before she died, that someone in town would do anything to stop her, because the gift threatened everything they had tried to keep hidden.As Jade and Inspector Axel Ford follow a trail of stolen flowers, a chained gate, and a grief kept secret for half a century, they edge closer to a truth that will break the town's heart - because in Maple Glade the loveliest places hide the loudest secrets. The person who did this is someone everybody loves, and uncovering them may destroy the peace the town depends on.A cosy mystery of gardens, grudges, and the terrible cost of being unseen, for readers who love a nosy heroine, a reluctant inspector, and a slow-burn romance in a town worth coming back to.

Maple Glade has never had a flower show. So when the town's first in eighty years is set to open in Ivy Baxter's beautiful new Victorian glasshouse, the whole of the little seaside town holds its breath. Until, on the morning of the judging, celebrity gardener Zinnia Vane is found dead beneath a fallen roof vent, and everyone agrees it was a tragic accident.
Mystery writer Jade Reed does not agree. Zinnia came home to Maple Glade after a lifetime away, carrying a secret and a gift that could finally end a bitter fifty-seven-year feud over a locked and famous garden - and she told Jade, an hour before she died, that someone in town would do anything to stop her, because the gift threatened everything they had tried to keep hidden.
As Jade and Inspector Axel Ford follow a trail of stolen flowers, a chained gate, and a grief kept secret for half a century, they edge closer to a truth that will break the town's heart - because in Maple Glade the loveliest places hide the loudest secrets. The person who did this is someone everybody loves, and uncovering them may destroy the peace the town depends on.
A cosy mystery of gardens, grudges, and the terrible cost of being unseen, for readers who love a nosy heroine, a reluctant inspector, and a slow-burn romance in a town worth coming back to.

About the Author
Luna Duval is the pen name of a lifelong daydreamer who calls a coastal city home. When she's not lost in fantasy novels, she's writing stories about brave hearts, curious minds, and unexpected adventures.
The Crownless Quest is her debut novel, but far from her last. Luna is currently writing a cozy mystery series called Maple Glade Murder Mysteries, blending quaint village charm with clever whodunits.
Having won a short story prize in her youth, Luna finally found the courage (with a gentle nudge from her mom) to write a full novel in her late thirties. She's living proof that it's never too late to follow a dream, or chase a mischievous sprite into an enchanted forest.
