The Garden Beneath the World

A magical realism fantasy novel, about memory, healing, grief and rebirth. One dark window to another world.

Beneath the ruins of a forgotten Earth, an ancient Garden stirs — and it remembers everything.
When botanist Evelyn Marrow falls through a fracture in the land, she finds herself in a living memory: an underground world where plants are sentient, grief breathes through the soil, and humanity’s forgotten sins bloom like poisonous flowers. Haunted by personal loss and burdened with guilt, Evelyn must journey through landscapes of sorrow, hope, rage, and wonder — facing the Garden’s deepest trials and her own broken heart.
As the roots awaken and the surface world trembles, Evelyn must make an impossible choice: sacrifice herself to heal the world she once gave up on, or carry the memory back to a future that may still be saved.
Lyrical, emotional, and profoundly hopeful, The Garden Beneath the World is a portal fantasy for anyone who has ever grieved, loved, and dared to believe in second chances.
A breathtaking exploration of resilience, remembrance, and the green breath of life returning after loss.
If you listen carefully, you can still hear it —
The Garden is breathing.
