"They didn't want to be nothing- because of them, we are everything."
Hundreds of years spiraling into the future, the word "Legacy" blazed in the heart of all that was human. Fate was already groping for their souls, ready to pull them out of the world they'd destroyed themselves. Stubbornly using damaged but still advanced technology, they fused their genes with those of the surviving nature around them and created their own form of human- the Leif Generation. Leifs were created with all types of nature- plants, animals, even sunlight.
Cypress was born a descendant of the new humanity's first ever tribe - the Tree Leifs. Soon she'll be working among rulers. But she discovers that Trees, especially her abusive brother, hide darkness with them. Trees will do anything to keep their firm grip on the the new world.
When Cypress discovers something deadly about herself, she has no choice but to become a rebel warrior and fight against her own destiny with everything she has.

But in order to do so, the original Survivors enhanced themselves with animal DNA, adopting traits that allowed them to live in this mutated wilderness of giant Beasts and vast, unexplored swathes of jungle-AKA, the Wold. But something that unnatural had to come at a cost. Meet Ash-one of the unlucky ones. She's almost human-71%, to be exact. With cat claws, ears, and a lot of anxiety, she's on the run to avoid death or slavery at the hands of human purists in the Capital. And, she just might have accidentally set out to save the rest of her kind along the way. When she encounters Stone on her quest, a brooding wolf-boy who relies on knives and sarcasm to fight his way through the Wold, she may get a lot more than she signed up for, as he decides to accompany her along on her quest. Through endless battles, hidden villages, and touching encounters with the travelers of the Wold, Ash and Stone may just change the world as they know it.Complete
