Description

A plant virus is turning people into human/plant hybrids called Verdans. It's a beautiful, peaceful way of life that will save the world. Until the rise of the Cultivars: aggressive warriors who want to wipe out humanity...


A virus has swept the world, turning polluting, wasteful humans into peaceful human/plant hybrids called Verdans. More and more people choose the Verdan way, till only a few humans are left. But then the Cultivars rise - terrifying, cruel Verdans, genetically modified to become brutal warriors, who are determined to wipe out what remains of humanity. They turn the Verdan dream into a nightmare. And at their head is the lethal Viridian...


The sequel, Viridian: Venus Angel, publishes October 2013.
