In the aftermath of humanity's greatest mistake, Mother Earth is done waiting.
The year is 2040. Climate collapse has reshaped the world. The polar ice caps are gone, sea levels have swallowed the coasts, and most of humanity is lost. In their absence, something ancient stirs beneath the soil-Gaia, the living spirit of Earth, has awakened. And she's angry.
With nature rising in furious rebellion, strange creatures once thought to be myth now roam freely: whispering trees, stone-skinned giants, and armies of the wild. Humanity is on the brink of extinction-unless someone can stop Gaia's final purge.
Enter a team of six unlikely heroes: environmental health specialists from Ohio, trained to protect people from environmental threats-never imagining the environment itself would turn against them. Now, they must use science, compassion, and sheer willpower to survive a world where nature has declared war on humankind.
But even as they face mutated beasts and living forests, a deeper mystery emerges: the Heartseed, a force of unimaginable power-and Earth's final trump card.
Part eco-thriller, part mythic fantasy, Gaia's Reckoning is the gripping first entry in a trilogy where science meets legend, and redemption comes with a cost.
