Eel MacGregor, a young man with music in his soul and confusion in his past, never expected to experience magic in his own life. Having witnessed first hand the power of real magic back in Virginia, where he became friends with a Green Man stranded in this world, Eel believed magic was best left to those who understood it. Arriving in Seattle, Eel falls hard for Callie Linden, a girl known to locals as the Goddess of Green Lake. Callie grew up beside the Puget Sound, and learned to sail before she learned to read. The youngest of three sisters who sing together, Callie's passion for the sea was nurtured by the fantastic stories her mother used to tell her before she disappeared. The conventions of ordinary romance don't mean much to Callie until Eel comes into her life. But when Callie and Eel join forces to liberate an orphaned baby sea otter from a public aquarium, they get in over their heads, and it will take more than a few heartfelt protest songs to restore harmony to these troubled waters. All seems lost until Eel discovers magical power in the music he can only make with Callie.

In "On The Wing," the final volume of The Greening trilogy, a young woman joins forces with her demon-fighter mother to battle crazed arsonists bent on world destruction. Eva Carter, who ran away from home as a teenager to find the father she never knew, finally learns the truth about Shiloh Carter's "day job" when she returns to help her mother in the struggle to repair damage caused by destructive magic sown in the Greening. In the process, Eva reconnects with her emotionally wounded father, her haunted grandfather, and a winsome sprite with otherworldly Green connections. But when Destiny comes calling, Eva and Shiloh join forces with a ragtag crew of not quite superheroes as they head into the final battle. Sooner or later one of them will have to pay the ultimate price to save the world from going up in smoke.

Who can you trust if you can't trust your mother? When 12-year-old Eva Carter discovers that her mother Shiloh has been lying to her all her life, she runs away to find the truth and stumbles into a hidden world where magic thrives. In this sequel to "The Greening: At The Root," Eva learns a long hidden secret about the father she never knew. Born shortly after The Greening wiped out all the oil on Earth, Eva Carter has never seen a traffic jam. Raised in a quiet neighborhood in Washington, D.C., she's been sheltered from the worldwide chaos that followed the decimation of modern trade and travel systems. Eva has no idea that all these years her mother has been fighting a lonely losing battle to stem the spread of Deep Magic on Earth. But Shiloh's job gets a lot more complicated after she realizes her daughter has magic genes in her blood. As Eva's magic skill grows, her connection to humanity frays, and Shiloh fears the worst. But when Eva's reckless abuse of magic draws the attention of higher powers, Mother Earth retaliates to wash out the contagion, and Eva is left helpless and alone until she meets a mysterious orphaned child whose resilience helps Eva to understand that some truths are impossible to find until you look inside yourself.
