The TREE READERS
I've written a middle-grade environmental fantasy adventure novel about coming of age in a climate of cultural violence heightened by natural disaster.
Generations ago in Xyladlam, a devastating flood all but destroyed an intelligent race of trees – the Xylon. The trees supported the livelihood of a diminutive tribe of elves called Swephens. Weakened and distraught, the tribe fractured into two enemy factions competing for limited resources.
Now, another flood has hit, inundating the settlements along the River. Two Youngens from rival factions are thrust together when one instinctively saves the life of the other, not realizing his tribal affinity. Now they have to decide whether to remain enemies or betray their families and help each other stay alive.
The book addresses the need for ecological and emotional sustainability, underscoring to the increasing fragility of both. It's a story of connection in spite of all the forces that try to tear us apart.
