Under eternally gray skies the Wetworks harvests nutritious waste from the "Root", the only plant humanity found after we fled through a gate to escape our home world's ecological collapse. When a bloody accident at the sawmill births a new kind of person, this strange realm finally has someone who transcends the sins of the last one. Every petal and stalk of the Root is listening and whispering. Through this transfigured being, Jon Heap, we can hear what the all-plant says. We already depend on the Root, but it wants to give us something new: fresh fruit for our priests to bless, our farmers to reap, and our mothers to bear. The Root will alter our bodies as it desires and despite the pain we will call it a miracle.
