The Grey Witch

"There is no environment 'out there' separate from us. The environment is embedded in us. We are as much a part of our surroundings as the trees and birds and fish, the sky, water, and rocks." ~ David Suzuki

This story takes place in a world where magicks rule and science is persecuted. Nailah wants to live a peaceful life dedicated (secretly) to science, but can't because her country is at war and the yosei who control the world from the shadows never want the war to end. Neo wants to fix the garden his father left him and honor his memory, but nothing he does seems to go right. The story begins with a funeral and ends when Neo and Nailah create a plan together that finally rebalances the world.
