Skeletal hollows transfixed on twinkling space. Empty sockets full of vibrant memories of the living. Dark boney holes, dazed and bamboozled by the expanse of the afterlife. The Galaxy of the Dead.

Wooden gnarled hollows deep as the midnight sky above. An untold guardian of spirit portals linked to our mysterious universe. Trees who know the true origin story of their Mother Earth. There is an ancient secret scrolled across our living wood. Angelic engravings more vital and wise than we could have ever imagined. Soon, these ancient wooden wizard guardians will return, only to fight against their own demonic forms.

Set in the 21st century, three loyal brothers are drawn into the struggle to save the planet. Shocked in witnessing this Earthly awakening unfold from the beginning, they discover they too are deeply intertwined in Mother Earth’s roots and have a bloodline of secret planetary guardians imbued with strength, speed, and stamina. Our world is a small speck in perspective to the entirety of the universe. Yet, Heaven and Hell see Earth as a crucial strategic battlement. They both seek possession, whether by exorcising demons into the woods or by using holy starships to cleanse the world of its pollutants.

As the battle between light and dark intensifies, weird galactic humanoids, modern pirates, and powerful tree folk start to join the cause, yet demons are working hard to establish their foothold, and new trees rise with dark magic. Skeleton armies begin to march, and their hollows burn with crimson light.

In this breakthrough punk fantasy from environmental activist and author Efren Stat, humans have cut down trees for so long that we now face the consequences when they do the same to us.
