Iris believed her story had already ended.

After losing the person she loved most, she chooses to end her own life—only to awaken in the heart of Ancient Rome during Emperor Nero's reign.

Unable to understand the language or the customs of a world two thousand years removed from her own, Iris struggles to survive as a foreign servant inside the imperial palace. There, she meets the gentle and enigmatic Empress Poppaea, whose warmth seems impossible in the court of one of history's most infamous emperors.

Yet the palace hides dangerous secrets, and one discovery changes everything.

The woman everyone calls Poppaea is not the Empress history remembers.

She is someone history almost forgot.

Guided by an aging imperial archivist and haunted by the knowledge of the future, Iris must decide whether love is worth embracing when she already knows how the story ends.

Where the Irises Bloom is a historical fantasy romance about grief, identity, memory, and the quiet people history left behind.
