This story takes place in a near future, where corporations run the world, most animals we know are extinct, and science has achieved god-like power. The story centers around a small cult-like group, called the Gardeners, who shun the system and believe that a waterless flood will soon come and wash away the evil and give the world a new start. It is told from the point of view of Ren and Toby, two women who take different life paths but find themselves in a similar predicament, and the preachings of their one-time leader.
I listened to this on CD, so I didn't realize that it was the second book in a trilogy. Surprisingly, though, I didn't feel like I was missing anything until the very end. And even at that, I was okay with it. The audio narration was very well-done, and I'm glad they went with 3 narrators since there were alternating voices.
