Some connections are beautiful. Some are deadly.
For thriller novelist Miranda Birky, strange yellow flowers appearing overnight in perfect geometric patterns across her lawn seem like just another bizarre small-town occurrence—until people who touch them begin to change.
She turns to her neighbor, biology teacher Alan Raasch, and together they uncover a terrifying truth: the yellow bloom isn’t just transforming people—it’s connecting them into a vast living network with a consciousness and purpose of its own.
With the military compromised, authorities infected, and “Make Earth Bloom Again” communities spreading, Miranda becomes a target of the movement’s leader—a long-haired guru known only as Echo.
Echo wants to make her his perfect counterpart in a new world order of love, peace, and collective wisdom.
As former friends fall to the bloom, Miranda and Alan face an impossible choice: join the promised utopia or fight to save the individuals trapped in the growing neural matrix.
