The Fifth Sacred Thing

In a near-future California forged from climate collapse, a vibrant eco-spiritual community in San Francisco stands as a beacon of hope—built on principles of sustainability, shared magic, and radical love. Maya, a wise elder; Madrone, a powerful healer; and Bird, her returning grandson, are thrust into a battle between their peaceful, inclusive society and a ruthless authoritarian regime intent on conquest. Through nonviolent resistance and deeply rooted belief, they test whether a world can be defended with spirit instead of steel.
