Gaia's Orphans

A young man awakens from the slumber of death surrounded by a city in ruins. Without a name, without a memory � and without a heartbeat � he raises his shattered body and walks across the scorched earth. Soon, he finds himself on the first steps of a journey that may spark the rebirth of an entire planet � or trigger its final destruction.

Gaia�s Orphans explores many social, ecological, and spiritual themes by weaving strands of symbolism and metaphor throughout the entire story. As our reluctant hero walks among Zombies, Vampires, Trolls, Demons, and Stones, timeless questions of power and meaning emerge naturally in the context of his experiences. Rather than being coarse or didactic in nature, this backdrop of deep thematic elements serves to further the development of character, plot, and setting. These diverse aspects of Gaia�s Orphans come together to create a rich mythic narrative that finds hope and humanity where both are least expected.
