Description

Humanity's reign on earth has ended. Magnificent cities have fallen and nature flourishes once again. Amy Marksman lives a peaceful, uneventful life in a small village, raising her garden and wondering what happened to her ancestors so many years ago. Then a mysterious stranger - a god perhaps - appears, changing her world forever. Unsettled forces are moving out of the mountains and from beyond the boundaries of space. The stranger informs Amy that she is the key to salvation, which she finds unsettling and remarkable. To her dismay, the god is right. A dreadful fog drifts toward the sea, raising the dead and threatening the peace and stability Amy and her people enjoy. From the sky, strange ships seek to return to earth and change her world forever. To her dismay and wonder, the faces behind both threats to her existence are familiar and unmistakably human. Amy discovers that she has powers beyond her wildest imagination. She must use them to protect all that she holds precious, including her baby daughter who is trapped in the hands of a madwoman. Kirkus Review (July 2012): In this sci-fi-fantasy blend, Garvey imagines the end of the world as we know it and what might come next. Amy Marksman has always been a little bit different: She can commune with the Earth and see the little green people who seem to share it with humans, as well as beings that just might be gods. Her role as garden tender for her village carries its own significance as well. Her uncanny ability to understand her environment and what it needs keeps her village healthy and fed. However, Amy doesn't realize just how important she is until tragedy strikes. An army of marauders rolls into her village, allegedly looking for her, and leaves with her baby, Eliza. With a small group of fellow survivors, Amy sets out to rescue her daughter and learn how to stop the fog before it's too late for the rest of the world. On her quest, she makes an amazing discovery: The world was once a much different place, where humans and technology functioned codependently. When something happened to wipe out all gadgets, however, many humans escaped into space, and the ones left behind in exile rebuilt the world as Amy knows it. She'll have to learn about this strange world, the good and bad, and about what it left behind to truly understand her own powers and save everyone she loves. The world is an interesting one, and Amy makes a good central figure. With her powers, she functions as a bridge between the old world and the new, and Garvey does an excellent job showing how strong she is while also preventing her from using her abilities to their full extent. A take on the future of the Earth that inspires further thought.
