Description
Who can you trust if you can't trust your mother? When 12-year-old Eva Carter discovers that her mother Shiloh has been lying to her all her life, she runs away to find the truth and stumbles into a hidden world where magic thrives. In this sequel to The Greening: At The Root, Eva learns a long hidden secret about the father she never knew. Born shortly after The Greening wiped out all the oil on Earth, Eva Carter has never seen a traffic jam. Raised in a quiet neighborhood in Washington, D.C., she's been sheltered from the worldwide chaos that followed the decimation of modern trade and travel systems. Eva has no idea that all these years her mother has been fighting a lonely losing battle to stem the spread of Deep Magic on Earth. But Shiloh's job gets a lot more complicated after she realizes her daughter has magic genes in her blood. As Eva's magic skill grows, her connection to humanity frays, and Shiloh fears the worst. But when Eva's reckless abuse of magic draws the attention of higher powers, Mother Earth retaliates to wash out the contagion, and Eva is left helpless and alone until she meets a mysterious orphaned child whose resilience helps Eva to understand that some truths are impossible to find until you look inside yourself.
