For Willow Thalrin, life in the fading town of Calenforde is defined by the rhythm of bakery stoves. But the world outside is slowly starving, squeezed by Lord Magnus and the shadowy Aqualine Disciples.
When Willow is chosen as the "Living Seed" during the Unfurling festival, a catastrophic fall beneath the earth reveals an ancient secret: the voice of the banished Root Mother, a glowing conduit of forgotten power, and the truth that she is the daughter of an otherworldly mother who vanished years ago.
Armed with her wits and loyal companions, Willow must flee the only home she has ever known for the towering capital of Thorenvale. To save her town and a dying world, she must embrace a destiny she never asked for.
The roots are awakening. The dawn of change has begun.
