LIVES OF A SALVAGER is Kelsey K. Sather’s second Ancient Language of the Earth book, a stand-alone novel in her multigenerational fantasy series about plant magic, memory, and the cost of saving a dying planet. In this interview, Sather discusses her approach to building a world as deep and complex as Aligaea; how her writing process differed from that of the first book in the series, BIRTH OF THE ANIMA; and the impact that her love of nature has had on the creation of these sweeping tales.
