The Last Seedkeeper

Two hundred years after civilization collapsed during an ecological catastrophe known as The Withering, humanity survives in isolated settlements surrounded by dead lands, mutant creatures, and poisoned soil.

At seventeen, Rowan is an errand runner in the forgotten settlement of Ashgrove. He's ordinary, overlooked, and entirely convinced his future consists of hauling water and sorting scrap until he dies.

Then he discovers a strange book buried beneath the roots of an ancient tree.

A book that shouldn't exist.

A book that calls him by name.

And when he opens it, a glowing window appears before his eyes.
