Meet D. Charles, author of “A New Garden”
Tell us what your book, “A New Garden” is about!
I’d love to! Here’s the summary:
Crawling through the corpse of a world the creators left behind, beings survive deep below the ground in a post human age. Unable to ask or seek revenge on their predecessors, animal-human hybrids, translucent warriors and Old world machines take refuge in maintenance tunnels and train cars.
Humanity kept building one civilization after another leaving the Depths below. Now that the bleeding sky is sinking into the earth, the remaining inhabitants must go deeper into the darker parts of human history. Dark rituals power the very lights they cling to, forcing the children of mankind to rely on the very darkness that killed their parents.
Pike, an Azaz Raider and head gardener of his village, finds himself having to rebuild in their new home after an earthquake. Have Pike and his people found a small paradise or did the Depths betray them once again? Not all humanities children were peaceful.
