When the river rises, there’ll be blood on my hands. My family is tracking the coven as they wreak havoc abroad—creating new vaewolves, attracting wraiths, building an army. I know this: an attack will come when the river rises. What I don’t know is why. The tree tapestry Mara spent a century seeking is the key, but we’re running out of time to discover what it unlocks. When the coven returns to England, bigger and stronger than ever, it’s not long before allegiances are tested, throwing my tentative relationship with my sister into doubt. When the river rises, I must fight for my life, but in the midst of battle, sacrifices will always be made, and my best friend will be changed forever. Hell is here, and she brought friends. From Tangled Roots Come Twisted Wings is Book 2 of Not the Same River, a complete six-book series that follows Violet as she goes from lost orphan to treasured warrior, finding the clan she would die for along the way. This series should be read in order. This book features sibling banter, petty goats, a message from the dead, and an unexpected resident cavorting in the garden.

A radically new understanding of and practical approach to climate change by noted environmentalist Paul Hawken, creator of the New York Times bestseller Drawdown Regeneration offers a visionary new approach to climate change, one that weaves justice, climate, biodiversity, equity, and human dignity into a seamless tapestry of action, policy, and transformation that can end the climate crisis in one generation. It is the first book to describe and define the burgeoning regeneration movement spreading rapidly throughout the world. Regeneration describes how an inclusive movement can engage the majority of humanity to save the world from the threat of global warming, with climate solutions that directly serve our children, the poor, and the excluded. This means we must address current human needs, not future existential threats, real as they are, with initiatives that include but go well beyond solar, electric vehicles, and tree planting to include such solutions as the fifteen-minute city, bioregions, azolla fern, food localization, fire ecology, decommodification, forests as farms, and the number one solution for the world: electrifying everything. Paul Hawken and the nonprofit Regeneration Organization are launching a series of initiatives to accompany the book, including a streaming video series, curriculum, podcasts, teaching videos, and climate action software. Regeneration is the inspiring and necessary guide to inform the rapidly spreading climate movement.
