Winner of the American Book Fest Award in Cross-Genre Fiction Winner of the American Book Fest Award in Multicultural Fiction Winner of the American Book Fest Award in Visionary Fiction Finalist of the IAN Book Award in Multicultural Fiction Can one woman stop a chemical magnate from destroying life on Earth? While working the night shift at a San Francisco news agency, Bayla Jeevan has a shocking out-of-body experience. Her consciousness is transported deep into an Indian forest, where she witnesses a noxious liquid spreading through the soil. At the same time, she receives a message from her father, presumed dead for fifteen years, warning her of imminent danger. Coincidence? Unlikely. Halfway around the world, agrochemical corporation ZedChem-led by billionaire Krakun Zed-tests its latest innovation, a product heralded as the solution to topsoil erosion. But the data reveals something else entirely. As Bayla sets out looking for answers, she learns more about her past-and her family's connections to a secret organization with ancient roots and to Zed himself. Will Bayla be able to stop the corporation from ruining global agriculture and devastating human existence forever? In this action-packed eco-thriller, the bonds of family-and the power to save Earth-are put to the test.
