TORN: Arcadia Book 1. 627 pages
Two ecological engineers must change their world to save it, no matter the cost to all they love.
Eons ago, ecological engineers like Caleb and Fee designed their world. But even the best designs wear out eventually. Now, Arcadia is threatened with environmental collapse, and only the men and women of the Survey can save it.
Storms, floods, drought. Don't bother taking your pick, says the planet, you're going to get the lot.
When the Survey sends tree-loving Fee to help create a lake smack in the middle of Caleb's desert plains home, he's less than thrilled. His family has deep ancestral and economic ties to the land. If they knew what Caleb and Fee were doing, they'd run them out of town.
So, the two must work in secret, altering entire landscapes before the locals find out and try to stop them. An impossible task, surely, when the only thing they have in common is a love for the very places they must change.
And how far can Fee and Caleb trust the Survey they've dedicated their lives to serve?
