He's the soldier who is supposed to kill her for the knowledge she stole. She's the one that gets him to fight for her instead.
In a world on the brink of extinction, Willow's mission is to save everyone she can. Armed with forbidden knowledge from banned books, she attempts to fix the food system, aiming to bring back what was lost: plants. But in a world controlled by a powerful Elite, her knowledge could lead to her death.
Liam is a soldier with nothing left. A slave in a system he cannot break free from, carrying out death in the name of the Elite. Just like most, he has lost all hope for the world they live in.
When the city around them crumbles, they are both forced onto a new path, unexpectedly colliding with one another. As they embark on a journey to find other survivors like them, and as their connection grows, so does Willow's unexpected power to re-grow the Earth. The journey is wrought with mystical monsters, unexpected magic, and a sentient house, but just when they believe they are free of the Elite, they discover they're being hunted for their abilities. They now must choose between the life the Elite offers them and the world they are trying to build.
