Rootbound
After her beloved sister Aspen disappears during a climate protest, seventeen-year-old Mira Bracken refuses to accept that she's gone. Mira spends her days combing an uncaring world for any trace of Aspen, driven forward by a blistering pain in her limbs and the voice of her missing-probably-dead sister in her mind.
When a shocking act lands Mira in the hospital, a mysterious stranger insists that she's a "treetalker," a powerful one, and that an ancient evil is hunting her. She laughs it off, until the stranger adds one last thing-this underworld group has been kidnapping youth climate strikers.
Desperate to learn more, Mira throws her lot in with the mysterious stranger and the other treetalkers, who call themselves rootbound. Soon she's swept into a secret magical war that spans centuries, inching closer to discovering the fate of her sister.
Rootbound: Join the magic. Join the movement.
“I absolutely loved it. I wish more than anything that I could have read this book when I first got involved in climate activism as a teenager and was struggling with climate anxiety.”

Harnessing the magic of the elements passed down to her through the centuries, Ava works frantically to discover the true intentions of the tattooed stranger. But she is not the only one with mysterious powers and she finds herself thwarted at every turn. Hunter and hunted engage in an intricate game of cat and mouse—unaware that a much larger war is brewing, a war that will be decided by the outcome of their struggle.

Ava Rising
After a night of terrible sacrifice and loss, Ava and Lucas have crossed a sacred boundary. Their forbidden bond has awakened the wrath of the Makhai, a fanatical gang of killers who will stop at nothing to wipe out the last of the Gaia. As Ava and Lucas flee across the globe, they are tested by violence, betrayal, and a mysterious curse of fire.
Just as Ava needs her powers most, she is losing control—struggling to accept her new identity as the Alpha Gaia. Within her lies the power of the howling wind, the raging water, the boiling lava, and the quaking earth. It’s a power that frightens her—and it’s growing. With Mother Earth herself stoking the flames of Ava’s fury at the destruction of her world and the killing of her people, will Ava be able to channel her power for good, or will she be consumed by the fire of her rage?
