Description

An epic novel-in-verse, set 'Once Upon an Ancient time", SEED OF EDEN is a rhythmic reimagining of history as an untold fairytale.

Infused with magical realism and characters exploring alternate worlds, futures and possibilities, it is

also a psychological exploration of the human condition and the power of inclusive community...

Once upon an ancient time...

"Lad," Joseph began, "it is time, I am here to tell you that here is where you will die!"

A bolt of shock plunged through Jeshua's core, however, the battle did not rage

like it had done before. Instead, a sense of relief came to wash over him...

finally, the truth...there would be no more secret keeping...

"Look to the rise..." said Joseph of Arimathea...Jeshua turned... and the truth could not be clearer...A forest... of decrepit trees...Stood strong and straight as far as the eye could see...Decrepit trees... each so straight they could touch the sky...With only one branch pointing left and one pointing right...Desperate to draw up the sun and to chase it down...And there... lay the spent fruit... dead upon the ground...Being shovelled into carts to be wheeled away..."Yes... Lad... this is your fate...!"

Jeshua turned away and was compelled to run; he ran without thought; he ran as if to catch the dying sun...
