Grower's Omen — Shae Geary; Audrey Faye

Sometimes the right choice feels like anything but. Tyra Lightbody lives steeped in family, community, and promises made long before she was born. Her next mission will try to take all that away.

She's being sent to an experimental-species biome to see why the locals are having bad dreams and throwing beakers at each other. What she discovers will test her loyalties, her courage, and her ability to make the very hardest of decisions in the very darkest of nights.

And pit her potions against a sentient tree.

Grower's Omen is the second book of the Karmacorp series, a unique blend of science fiction and paranormal fantasy. The series starts with Destiny's Song, and reading them in order is a very good idea. :)

A note from Audrey: I tell stories of hope, resilience, belonging, and finding what (and who!) matters. I do that in a lot of different genres, but you'll always get those things in an Audrey Faye book. :)
