The earth has been shriveling and dying for thousands of years, and unless Ròna and the Children of the Mother can put a stop to the plundering by the PieceTakers of the Monstrato Corps, the Wayp — the last refuge of life on earth — will be lost as well.
In the aftermath of The Great Melt, what is left of the natural environment stands on the brink of extinction. Yet, amidst the desolation, the Wayp remains a lone refuge far above the burnt-lands of the DownBlow: a green haven protected by Ròna, the guardian of the forest, and “sister” of the Mother. A hard enough duty during the best of times, but now on a planet long ago devastated by global warming and environmental degradation, her mission is more critical than ever as she faces the most recent onslaught from the ruthless Monstrato Corps.
Ròna, the red-haired, speckle-cheeked heroine of this history of the future, forms an unbreakable bond with Cuilean, her childhood friend turned gladiator in the arenas of the DownBlow. They’ve known each other since they were children – and throughout that time, they’ve been friends, then enemies, and then lost to each other, but as they’ve grown older, their love for each other has grown against a backdrop of dangerous adventures and perilous escapades, revealing the resilience of their love and passion even in the face of overwhelming adversity.
Ride with Ròna on her enchanting unihorn mount; shudder to the horrific roar of saber-tooth tiger; face off with Cuilean against the charging bull-monster known as the mìneotarbh; and join them both in the struggle to save what little remains of a living world after the Great Melt brought about the collapse of the planet’s environment thousands of years before;
An epic science fiction fantasy adventure retrieved from the mists of time yet to come. A tale as enchanting as it is foreboding.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
Of course, there are several different impetuses — besides just wanting to write something, but eventually after playing around with many different approaches and different stories, I focused on a crucial issue in our day and time — and that is the devastation we are wreaking upon our environment, and how the communication about what's called "global warming" (though it entails so much more than just 'warming') is so often couched in abstractions and scientific terminology, which are difficult to relate to. Hence — this book, which attempts to depict in human terms, story terms, the reality that faces humanity and the planet: It is not a story, it is a vision of the future, a chronicle of the future foretold.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
Now, you're asking how the sausage is made! I didn't come up with the characters … they were just there.
