Veritas lives in a lush, utopian world - and hates it. Tucked away in her Greenhouse built by the enigmatic Jase who warns her against anything extreme, she begins to experiment.
Centuries before, the planet rebelled against humanity and destroyed all but a few souls. Now the Earth is revered as a hostile god. Trapped beneath a sky of ice in a land of perfection, Veritas longs to Create, her hands curled in the sacred Earth of her Greenhouse.
Forbidden to Create, Veritas flouts the rules too many times. Imprisoned in the Vault, Veritas' strongest hope is her best - and only - friend, Jase. The man who built her beautiful Greenhouse - her Ark - twining the vines with his own hands. When Veritas learns of her own magic, she questions the loyalty of the man she trusts most.
