Part 4 Sovereign Ice, an Epic Tale of Future Earth
Published on 2018-04-01
Issue Details
That which separates us from the world and from one another is sovereign, and all the little inroads and personal connections we make otherwise are outlaw against the nature of the universe itself. A universe which is vast and indifferent, as boundless in time as in any physical dimension, and against which even the deities are as children. Six more chapters of this 200,000 word saga to take you deeper into the world of Sovereign Ice. “Not long after the first quake, the mountain shook again, and yet again. It shook until a regular pounding rhythm broke into the darkness and awakened Maya from her grief. When it had begun, the thundering rattle of stone was in response to Maya’s terrifying vision. But this shaking, this determined pounding, was different. Something outside now, beyond the protective stone, was driving its way in.” The world of Sovereign Ice takes place on a far future Earth, on a world which has been transformed by tragic circumstance into one whose cultures, concepts, and natural laws we would not recognize today.
