Description
Beatrice "Honey Bea" Robinson has spent years trying to forget the hidden town of Apis-a lush desert oasis where golden bees guard the secret to eternal life. But when one of those bees finds her in the outside world, stinging her awake with strange memories and uncanny power, Bea is called home. Apis hasn't changed. It never does. The same rituals. The same honey. The same child, Abigail, who never seems to grow old. As Bea unravels her family's exile, she uncovers whispers of sacred honey that doesn't just heal-it binds. And beneath the town's eternal bloom lies a chilling truth: immortality has a price, and the Queen always collects. In a place where time stands still, Bea must decide what she's willing to sacrifice to escape the hive.
