In this magical, terrifying, and whimsical debut (Publishers Weekly starred review), a biotech plague reverberates in Ohio Amish country long after the near-extinction of humankind. A young woman must try to save what remains of the human race. Crafty surprises abound (Kirkus Reviews) in this sci-fi/fantasy adventure that's nothing short of a storytelling masterwork. (BlueInk Review in Booklist)
Root is...different.Though raised in a fearful society that reveres tradition and conformity, she's irreverent, outspoken, and deeply curious. Her blindness sets her even further apart.
Centuries after the Reckoning, a global biotech disaster, savage chimeras still threaten human survival. After Root hears a voice that no one else can hear, she flees into the wilderness.
Outcast and hunted, she must confront a dire threat to her people--and unravel the mystery of who she really is.
