    Summary

    Summer has arrived in Stardew Valley, bringing with it new crops—and new mysteries—for three former Zuzu City roommates. With her mentor Rasmodius's guidance, Trisha attempts to puzzle out her grandfather's grimoire and master her own burgeoning magic. Brandy delves deeper into the mine, honing her combat skills and learning to repair the damage caused by long neglect and rampaging monsters. Neel follows her down, more reluctantly; at least shooting down cave flies and monstrous bats is a distraction from the constant reminders of his brother's death and the war that led to it.

    As Fall transforms the leaves to every shade of fire, the three find their relationships with certain members of the local community changing into something warmer, as well. Elliott receives good news for his writing career; who better to celebrate with than his story's inspiration? A demanding work and class schedule can't stop Abigail from finding more and more in common with her adventurous new neighbor. Sebastian takes on a new programming project from a client very close to home.

    This is Part 2 of the Gifts of the Valley series, and may not make sense if you haven't read Part 1, Spring Seeds.

    Summary

    Roommates Trisha, Neel, and Brandy each have their own reasons to abandon the big city for the farm Trisha inherited from her grandfather. The valley seems like the answer to their prayers, but beneath the idyllic surface lie dangerous secrets.

    Trisha loved her job as an analyst for Joja—until it began damaging her health. Farming looks like the perfect response to her doctor's prescription for more time outdoors. An eccentric writer adopts her as his muse, but is there more to his interest? And her life is weird enough without the local "wizard" claiming she is one, too.

    Neel, reeling over his brother's death in the war, trades the mind-numbing routine of his old job for the physical exhaustion of farm work. A local programmer might be able to help him uncover the local JojaMart's shady secrets, if he can get past the other man's hostility.

    Brandy is an adrenaline junkie, but when a stunt calls too much attention to her, she needs to lie low for a while. She expects to be bored out of her mind in quiet Pelican Town, but that was before she meets a kindred spirit obsessed with the mysterious, monster-infested mines.

    Parts 1 and 2 are complete.
