{ "item_title" : "A Seed of the Ninefold Root", "item_author" : [" Angelica Crowe "], "item_description" : "The realm needs her to climb. The promise she made as a jealous child will not let her.At twelve, Princess Lowen Verdaine swore she would never climb the Thousand Stair. Eight years later, the spite has faded. The binding vow has not.At court, she is the overlooked princess. On the river, she is someone else: a nameless harpist who slips away to play in village cider-houses, with a quick-tongued ferryman to carry her home. For two summers, Pell Ruddock has given her the freedom to be herself-and never asked who she really is.Pell knows every current on the Sallow and every grievance carried along its banks. He wants the river folk's stolen seat restored to the royal council. Falling for a princess would make an already difficult ambition considerably more complicated.Then the Covenant Tree begins to flower for the first time in centuries.In the archive, a lost verse reveals what must happen next: the Tree's single seed must be brought down from its crown by the youngest of the royal line, then carried beyond the forest.For once, everyone needs Lowen. And she has sworn never to do the one thing they ask.With nine hundred and ninety-one forbidden steps above her and dangerous water waiting below, Lowen must face the consequences of her childhood envy. Beside her is a boatman with dreams of his own-and a growing place in a heart she has guarded almost as carefully as her name.As midsummer blossoms light the Tree and silver leaves drift onto the river, a princess who has learned to hide and a ferryman who has never stayed must decide what future they dare to ask for, and what they are willing to give up to reach it.A Seed of the Ninefold Root brings The Keepers of Aelderwen to a luminous conclusion: a romance of secret identities, binding promises, and the courage to grow beyond the person you once were.The ninth and final book in this saga of oaths, seasons, and gentle wonder is a clean, closed-door fantasy romance with a complete happily-ever-after, and can be enjoyed as a standalone.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers3.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/9/79/823/798/9798237980370_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "12.99", "online_price" : "12.99", "our_price" : "12.99", "club_price" : "12.99", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
