May Day Flowers

Ainsley is a dryad whose connection to the earth is fraying. As her mandatory hibernation cycles stretch from seasons into decades, she faces a terrifying realization: her life within the forest may be reaching its final, quiet end. Haunted by the decay of her own body, she prepares to host one last May Day Festival, a sprawling celebration intended to be her swan song. Priscilla is an eternal optimist, a woman who has painstakingly rebuilt her world after fleeing an abusive past. She navigates the remnants of her trauma through vibrant, if sometimes invasive, daydreams, always meeting her internal struggles with a resilient smile. When a fortunate string of mix-ups lands her the job as the lead decorator for Ainsley’s festival, the carefully guarded barrier between the mundane human world and the hidden magical community begins to dissolve. Thrown together against a backdrop of ancient trees and budding blossoms, these two women offer each other sanctuary. As their lives intertwine, Ainsley and Priscilla must confront the scars they keep hidden beneath the surface. In the stillness of the forest, they discover that sometimes the most profound healing begins when you stop hibernating and finally let yourself be seen.
