Galaxy of the Dead

Hollows. They are the space behind your eyes when you stare in the mirror. The dark holes in a gnarled tree that watch you when walking alone in the forest. And the emptiness within the soul of the Sixth Daughter of Gaia.

Our world is a small speck in perspective to the Galaxy of the Dead, yet Heaven and Hell are at war to tip the balance in their favor, and the Earth is the Key.

There is an ancient secret scrolled across our living wood. Engravings that make our trees 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. Three loyal human brothers are drawn into the struggle to save the planet. They witness this awakening unfold from the beginning and discover that they too, are deeply intertwined in Mother Earth's roots, having a bloodline of mysterious planetary guardians imbued with strength, speed, and stamina. 

As the battle between light and dark intensifies, weird galactic humanoids, modern pirates, and powerful tree folk start to join the cause; yet, the demons are working hard to establish their foothold, and new trees rise with dark magic, skeleton armies begin to march, and the 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 rise up to do the same to us.
