A Latticework Shrine

The Earth is cold and desolate. All life struggles to survive in the post-eruption world shaped by the Immortals. Even humans are a threatened species. Two decades of genocide orchestrated by the Zurvan Sisterhood has nearly eradicated all males, with Queen Shakti and her infamous Aradian sisters Tala and Mayari at its nucleus. Some men are spared from the slaughter but this creates a paradox for the Queen. She cannot find men that are both submissive to enslavement and willing to rise to their higher selves at once. She obsesses over finding young Michael Beller, whose whereabouts remain unknown but may be the key to the prophecy they've been waiting for. As Shakti's domination over Earth is imminent, she dispatches Tala to find and retrieve the young man lest his mother Ingrid locates him first. But whispers of a green faery with ancient powers spread; a pagan sorceress unearthed from the tundra after a five-year metamorphosis. Shakti intends to lure the faery out of hiding but secretly fears Ingrid is truly the incarnation of Mother Nature in all her beauty, magnificence... and ferocity.
