Evelyn Rose Bennett has never wanted to be a superhero. She’s just a soft-spoken, slightly nerdy girl who loves plants, animals, books, baking, and taking care of everyone around her. She wears floral dresses, cardigans, mini skirts, leggings, oversized hoodies, and little Mary Janes, looking about as threatening as a flower in spring. But Evelyn has a secret. The Earth listens to her. Plants grow at her touch. Animals trust her instinctively. The wind speaks to her through whispers and movement. She can feel the emotions of everyone around her, sensing their fear, sadness, anger, and happiness as if they were her own. And when someone hurts her, their anger often disappears beneath an overwhelming sense of regret. She doesn’t control the Earth. She has a relationship with it. Whatever she takes, she gives back. Whatever she receives, she shares. And no matter how terrible someone has become, Evelyn refuses to believe they’re beyond saving. When Nick Fury brings her to the Avengers, the team expects another enhanced individual. Instead, they meet the kindest person they’ve ever known. But as strange changes begin spreading across the planet, the Avengers discover that Evelyn’s connection to Earth may be far deeper—and far more powerful—than anyone could have imagined. Because Evelyn doesn’t know exactly what she is. And neither does the Earth.
