The Prosecutor Who Woke Up in a Pumpkin Patch
By @john1208
Zofia Rostova, the city's most feared prosecutor, lives by one rule: emotion is a weakness. Nicknamed the 'Ice Guillotine,' her conviction rate is as legendary as her chilly demeanor, a carefully constructed fortress to protect her younger sister and herself. Her current obsession is dismantling the 'Veridian Ring,' a shadowy cabal of the city's elite. Across town, Laszlo Nowak's world revolves around sunlight, soil, and coaxing his prize-winning pumpkins to colossal sizes, hoping a victory at the Stardew Valley Annual Fair will save his family's ancestral land. Their paths have never crossed. Until they both wake up locked inside Zofia's high-tech estate greenhouse, with no memory of how they got there and no way out. Forced into an unlikely alliance, the prosecutor and the gardener must combine their skills to survive. But as they unravel the mystery of their imprisonment, they realize the Veridian Ring's conspiracy and the sabotage of a humble pumpkin contest are tangled together in the most absurd way imaginable. Can a woman who trusts no one and a man who trusts everyone solve a crime that's rooted far deeper than they ever suspected?
