Where the Glassflowers Grow: Paradisi Chronicles - Paperback

Mabel Yu, one of the Founders of New Eden, had a dream. She wanted to turn the promises of the Paradisi Project into a reality in the western province of Caelestis. To that end, she built Mynyddamore as a place of refuge for the native Ddaerans who lived between the Mynyddeira Mountains and the Sapphire Sea. Generations later, her descendent Mei Lin Yu is working to bring the promises of that dream to even more people, despite the forces within her own family who are doing everything in their power to oppose her.

Where the Glassflowers Grow, is part of the Paradisi Chronicles, an open-source, multi-author science fiction series, and in this fifth and final book of the Caelestis series, Mei Lin Yu and Jaxon McCaffrey race against time to save the prisoners in the maximum-security prison of Atra. In the process they discover that whether a Founder, an average New Eden citizen, a Reacher, or a native Ddaeran, they all share a common humanity, and all have been transformed by the planet Ddaera herself.
