Infos

In a world choked by its own toxic progress, the sky a perpetual sickly lavender, gigantic bioengineered trees - the Canopy Guardians - struggle to filter the poisoned air.  But these magnificent trees are dying, not from disease, but by their own design, a planetary suicide pact.  Humanity, blinded by its relentless pursuit of resources, remains oblivious to the impending catastrophe.  Kayla Frost, an environmental engineer haunted by the world's decay, feels a primal connection to the ailing Guardians. Dismissed by a pragmatic government and powerful corporations, she embarks on a solitary quest to uncover the truth behind their decline. Her search leads her to the planet's edge, to the whispering remnants of ancient forests, and to the discovery of a symbiotic network far older and more complex than human science ever imagined. 
Joining Kayla's desperate race against time is John Cole, a veteran journalist ostracized for his unflinching pursuit of truth, and Leroy Weiss, a reclusive botanist who holds the key to understanding the Guardians' silent plea. Together, they must navigate the gleaming towers of the capital city, where they face the cold indifference of Director Julia Taylor and her corporate backers, and the overgrown ruins of old-growth forests, where they reconnect with the raw power of the natural world.  Their quest unearths a forgotten technology, a bio-acoustic resonator that might just hold the key to salvation. But to activate it, Kayla needs a rare earth element found only in the heart of the last primeval forest, guarded by fiercely independent communities who have rejected the very technology that could save them all.
As the Canopy Guardians fade, and the world teeters on the brink of collapse, Kayla, John, and Leroy must fight not only for the planet's survival but also to reawaken humanity's lost connection to nature.  Can they convince a world divided to listen to the whispers of the dying trees before it's too late?
