The Last Gardener of Briarwood Cemetery

---

When Merrick moves into the old caretaker’s cottage beside Briarwood Cemetery, she expects quiet. Solitude. A chance to rebuild her life among the ivy‑draped stones and weathered angels.

Instead, she finds a bundle of Victorian letters hidden in the attic — tender, haunting notes written by Rowan Gray, the cemetery’s last gardener, to a woman long dead.

As Merrick begins restoring the overgrown garden behind the cottage, she becomes captivated by Rowan’s gentle voice and the stories he left behind.

Then, one autumn morning, she discovers a new letter on a gravestone.

Fresh ink. 

Fresh paper.
