What will life on Earth be like in 3200 A.D.?Explore a possible future exquisitely crafted by a master storyteller. Enter here and meet The People of Nine in this first book of an extended sci-fi fantasy series set more than a thousand years after an environmental catastrophe has destroyed billions of people and most of the civilizations on Earth. A ruling class of Guardians has arisen to control most of the agrarian population of Arland who are called the People of Nine. In BOOK ONE, an attempted genocide by the Guardians threatens a feral tribe of humans named the Oneways. These people join forces with the Foggers, a community of mentally unstable adults and children, who long ago were exiled from their natal land by the Guardians. As this epic tale begins to unfold, we find ourselves in a world that reflects the consequences of our lives today and builds forward, hopefully with the better aspects of our humanity.
