This is the sequel to Green Angel. A year has gone by since the 9/11-like attack on the city that killed Green's parents and sister, along with many others. The attackers are now known as "The Horde", a group that wants to abolish all vestiges of modern life and technology. Green still has the ability to make anything grow. In addition, she has begun to write, making her own paper and ink, and traveling to visit different women survivors of the attack. These women, known as "witches" because they have withdrawn from what is left of society, are believed to have powers that others don't have. Green visits these women: Stone Witch, Sky Witch, Rose Witch, and River Witch to learn their stories and how they have gone on with their lives. Green is still waiting for Diamond, the young man she fell in love with in the first book. Green learns about love from these and finds the strength to mount a rescue against the Horde prison. Once again there is a lot in this small book and it finishes up Green's story nicely.
