Book 1. Countdown
Polar ice caps are melting. Whole ecosystems are being destroyed. Wildlife is being carelessly slaughtered. Eighteen-year-old Skye Van Bloem didn’t create the environmental crisis facing our planet, but she’s angry about it. What upsets her the most is that with the exception of her two best friends hardly anyone else on Earth seems to care.

The natural world is dying, and the animals of Earth know who to blame. Humans.
Eighteen-year-old Skye Van Bloem agrees, but she feels helpless to stop the biodiversity loss.
Then, an alien known as a Beholder tells her the animals are deciding on the fate of humanity and that she is the only one who can persuade them to vote against the release of a lethal virus. He gifts her with the ability to understand them.
Embarking on a journey across three continents with her two best friends, Skye discovers nothing is as it seemed—including what she thought she knew about herself. Can she convince the animals that humans can change and protect the planet when she doesn’t believe it herself?
There’s another problem. Skye suspects her Beholder guide is in love with her. She doesn’t know about the secret he’s hiding.
Who is she really?
Countdown was named to the 2019 Green Earth Book Award Long List. The author donates royalties to environmental nonprofits.
Book 2. Holding
The alien Beholders came with a lethal virus. Skye Van Bloem and her best friends stopped them, temporarily, but at a devastating cost. Her family—and the very way she sees herself—is shattered in the aftermath, her friends are in danger, and Starion, the Beholder prince she has come to care for, has been forced to make a crippling bargain with his cruel father. Skye is determined to fight through her grief and save Starion, but she has to find him first. Aided by a band of insurrectionists she’s not sure she can trust, Skye must travel to alien worlds to rescue the prince along with the animals and friends she has vowed to protect.
What she finds is beyond her worst fears.
