Oracle by Katherine Greyle is a futuristic fantasy novel with a slight romantic twist. Jane Deerfield is a computer tech at a university and is sucked into what she thinks if the past but finds that she is now two centuries in the future after a cataclysmic nuclear event obliterates most of the planet. Now she is in a time where magic is real and animals, trees and streams house old souls. Only she knows what the key is to open the room of knowledge but will she unlock it only to see history repeat itself. I found it an interesting fantasy as she meets all the characters who were spirits who merged with the water, trees, and animals. Where magic is the norm but even that is fading. Will she destroy or be the savoir of this fragile world?
