The city of Kirkhyrst has harnessed magic for everyone. The Grid works tirelessly to bring this modern marvel to all humans within its boundaries, to light the streets, power industry, and fuel communications. Daisy works as a support analyst for the Grid, a respectable job that means she doesn’t have to talk to too many people. But lately she’s been seeing an increase in magical anomalies passing by her desk.

The Ratatoskr shun technology, what nature provides is enough, and they are wary of human interference. When a young Tree Keeper discovers her forest ablaze with magic, the suspicion instantly falls on the Grid, and Daisy and her new intern are called out to the wilds of Ruhann to investigate.

The fire is only the start of their magic problems, and Daisy must face up to some hard truths as she gets to the bottom of what’s really going on. Will nature prevail? Or are humans destined to ruin everything they touch?
