Fay Butler has always lived in the shadow of greatness. Her grandmother, the High Technomantress of Cyberwood, commands the cyber-plant biome's living technology with grace and power. All Fay wants is to follow in her footsteps - but fate had other plans. Until now.
On the last day of school, everything changes. Gramma is gone, vanished through a malfunctioning teleportational Gate. The system is down. The other villages fall silent. And Cyberwood itself begins to stir.
Fay's dream of becoming a technomantress has just become a reality - but not the way she imagined. With a mysterious new apprentice's band around her neck, her arch-rival, Lily, by her side, and danger closing in, she'll have to set off into the forest's depths to uncover the truth about the Gates, the cyber-plants, and the secrets Gramma may have taken with her.
The forest is alive. The Gates are closed. And Fay has no idea what she's walking into.
