OVERVIEW

WHISH is a radical eco-thriller about a handful of people called Elowas who can communicate in Shome'ah, the language of the entire natural world, from the lowliest weeds to the stars and everything in between. They learn that the natural world is at age-old war between the Nextists who believe in the survival of the fittest and for whom humans are the pinnacle of creation and the Extists who have a different understanding of time and spirit, for whom humans are enemy number one. Most of the plant world is Extist, and assaults humankind in insidious ways including opiates and cancers. One Elowa, a 16-year-old known in Shome'ah as Whish, finds herself at the nexus of this war with a bounty on her head and four seasons to save herself and the remaining Elowas by changing humanity’s relationship with the earth.
