NI Revolution

Perfect for fans of Stranger Things and A History of Wild Places, this "masterful debut novel tells an epic tale of love, loss, and profound connection...with lyrical prose and heart-racing action" (USA Today best-selling Author Terri Giuliano Long). Nature finally rises against humanity. Flora Reed discovers a lifeless body in her front yard the morning after the last day of her junior year of high school. Matters get worse when more people from her small town are found dead under mysterious circumstances and police take an interest in the boy next door, Carl. Flora is convinced that Carl is innocent. Instead, she suspects that the deaths are somehow connected to her younger sister Fauna's tragic accident a year earlier. What she learns changes everything, and she has to race against time to prevent the killings from spreading. Flora and a small group of friends soon find themselves at the onset of an apocalyptic battle between man and nature, with no one believing their story. The Lightning Tree is the first installment of the Natural Intelligence Revolution Trilogy.

Nature finally rises against humanity. Fleeing a burning Derwyn, Flora Reed and her friends find themselves at SEEDS, a secretive corporation bent on decoding nature's language. The person in charge, Director Lund, seeks to use Flora's abilities, whose reputation as a tree-talker has spread. She holds the last key to understanding tree-talk so that SEEDS can reproduce the process of talking to nature with advanced technology, the result of years of research. But Flora suspects that the software being produced at SEEDS might be used for the wrong reasons, to inflame an already panicked world, instead of bringing peace between humans and nature. In the end, Flora and her crew must fight for their lives as they realize they are the only ones who can stop the world from taking an apocalyptic turn.
