The Children of Gaia

Illustrations by Jacquelyn Lane

The Children of Gaia is her first novel. It beautifully expresses a deep love for the Earth and especially for its indigenous forests. The interface between science and metaphysics, where reality shifts beyond its normal limits is where this author-artist is most at home. Decades of esoteric studies combine with personal research on forests in Europe, Scandinavia, New Zealand and Central America to create this thought-provoking, inspiring work.

In the deep of night at the heart of the Moonwood an elf is created—a sylvan—one who sings life through the trees in their keeping. On the other side of the planet, two teenagers have long ago unwittingly opened a gateway to the sylvans’ world—the hidden kingdom of deva—two worlds inextricably bound but one is blind and deaf to the other. In a time of great turbulence and change are these three really following their own paths or are they pawns in a far greater game?
