Synopsis: Garrtellia.

Above all else, Garrtellia is a romantic adventure story including the endless twists and turns of life, the battles, loves, happiness, confusion and sorrow.

The story begins in a corner of the country once known as France. There, the future looks bleak for the meagre amount of Earths survivors after the Big Death and endless global disasters. Without any borders remaining, there are now only tribes and families trying to stay alive.

The remaining people have established themselves again as hunters, gatherers, warriors and plunders. They are fierce warriors and survivors, ready to defend and kill whenever necessary but many are not happy with that situation.

Garr, a young warrior, together with her brother, were once angry young people. But fate allows Garr to meet a wise older man, Knap, who guides her into maturity, after which, Garrs life is changed forever.

As a bright and charismatic woman, she assembles around her a similarly-minded family and group of supporters with the aim of turning their wild environment into a caring and efficient kingdom.

She becomes the partner of a young woman, then a nomadic tribal leader, and ultimately together, they work to change and improve their futures. The stunning part one of the trilogy, The First Rays of Sun begins to follow Garr in this new world order where the rules of society are being rewritten.

The story takes Garr, her partners, and her family forward from that world of base survival, hunger and brutality, into the growth and development of a functioning kingdom, Garrtellia.

Each generation follows Garr and attempts to hold true to her initial vision. The story contains heartbreak and death, together with love, as those who follow Garrs spirit are forced to face the many decisions of leadership involved with growing a kingdom. The endeavours continue in the second and third parts of the trilogy; The Second Dawning and Innocent Reflections. As a story combining mind and spirit, it follows the journey taken by most societies and peoples throughout history in many ways. All be it, a gripping fantasy of good intent and realisation, it is most definitely an adventure.
