The Rootbound Archive - A Solarpunk Balcony Cozy Mystery

THE DEEPER YOU GO, THE MORE THE ROOTS REMEMBER.

Strange glitches ripple through Verdant Tower's water systems. A botanist disappears. And in the hidden depths beneath the smart city's shimmering balconies, Ari Vega discovers a secret she was never meant to uncover-a vast bioluminescent archive where genetically engineered "memory plants" have been storing decades of buried history.

The Rootbound Archive is Book Four in the Solarpunk Balcony Mysteries, a cozy, hopeful, near-future mystery series about stubborn gardens, found family, and quiet rebellion in the cracks of a corporate-controlled eco-utopia.

When someone begins sabotaging the archive-corrupting water lines, erasing records, and threatening to destroy its living memories forever-Ari teams up once again with hacker consultant Cass, wise horticulturist Ms. Ko, and the hidden rebels who tend Verdant Tower's wild green corners. Their mission: decode the plants' glowing signals and stop a saboteur who believes the only way to protect the future... is to rewrite the past.
