Don't mess with Melia! She's a feisty dryad – and she's angry. 
Ever since her ash tree was cut down to make way for a motorway she's been out for revenge. Melia and fellow dryads (tree spirits) Betula and Quercus are recruited into the mysterious 'Organisation', where they are trained to control minds in order to lead the human race to its own destruction. 
But when the dryads are sent to attack tree-loving teenager Jake and his family, they find that everything is more complicated than it seems. What actually is the Organisation's Master Plan? Must Nightingale Copse be flattened to make way for an airport runway? And what does the Green Man have to say? Dryads and humans alike must decide who to trust as they engage in a deadly struggle against spiritual and political corruption orchestrated by an ancient force of evil. 
Dark and satirical but also thoughtful and sometimes moving, Root Rage is an environmental fantasy adventure.
