Nature's Mark

A timeless war...
A desperate people...
A reluctant hero...

In the wake of the Malaki invasion and occupation of Penance, Treylorne’s path is fixed. In his professed role as God's emissary, Treylorne will free his people and avert ecological Armageddon. But what will the prophecy entail? What will Treylorne’s actions achieve? And can he trust his companions, a misfit group of individuals all seeking redemption from both political upheaval and personal tragedy?

Nature’s Mark is the first volume in The Binding Trilogy, which focuses on the conflict between the islands of Penance and Malice. This war of faith offers a microcosm for the traditional friction between technological advancement and ecological balance to play out. The Binding Trilogy muses over the nature of belief, the power of socialisation, and man's relationship with his God. The environment for this is a more primitive age where the danger of technology in the hands of innocents is pronounced, yet this clarity cannot simplify the human condition.
