    Summary

    Far in the east, deep in the desert, a king once erected a vast garden of greenery for his beloved queen. She was homesick, longing for some time or place far, far away, with rolling green hills and wet, humid summers.

    Later, much, much later, historians would say it couldn’t be real. That it couldn’t be more than a myth, or poetry. The architecture was too advanced for the time. The irrigation systems were state of the art. And the beauty of it—exquisite, the poets said—was far too good to be true.

    Hermione knows better. She knows the hanging gardens of Babylon very well did exist. She knows this because she knows magic. She knows this because she was there.
