But how could it fall to the feisty, but petite, Phen to heal all lands? Although her mother foresaw her role in bringing forth a mighty healing, Phen has yet to sow the seed of her mysterious dream plant. And can a simple plant overcome the toxic war being waged by the beasties in their anger over mortal distrust?
