Deep dives
The Impact of Grief on a Family
The story illustrates the profound effect of grief on a family coping with the loss of a loved one, in this case, the queen. The king's anger leads him to lash out at his servants, while Leah becomes withdrawn and silent. Godwin's grief prompts him to leave his home, seeking adventure to escape the pain of his mother's death. Each family member's reaction highlights the various ways people deal with loss, emphasizing the theme that grief can create emotional distance and lead to significant changes in behavior.
The Power of Love and Resilience
Leah's relationship with her roses serves as a powerful symbol of love and resilience, helping her gradually reconnect with the world around her. By sending roses to Godwin with kisses for fear, courage, and love, she attempts to maintain her bond with him despite their separation. The symbolism becomes more pronounced as the roses act as a lifeline, allowing Leah to express her feelings for her brother while also nurturing her own emotional healing. This act of love becomes a focal point in her life, showcasing the transformative power of nurturing relationships even in the face of hardship.
Revelation and Transformation
The dramatic reveal occurs when Godwin encounters the dragon and realizes its true identity as Leah, transformed due to the queen's jealousy and malice. After a series of misunderstandings and battles with the queen’s deceitful magic, Godwin's three kisses enable Leah to reclaim her true self, embodying the themes of love's power and familial connection. This transformation serves not only to reunite the siblings but also to break the queen's dark hold, emphasizing that love and courage can overcome even the deepest adversities. Ultimately, their joy in reunion restores happiness to their family, while the queen's disappearance leaves a lingering mystery.
Leah's mother dies, and her brother leaves home, and Leah is so sad that she cannot speak. Her father plants a rose garden on her balcony, and every day she gives a white rose to a seagull and kisses it three times, sending it to her brother. But dark magic is also travelling across the sea, and soon Leah will find that every rose is not so sweet...
