| Wasteland
| | Antoine Laurier Harding
| A natural sculpting prodigy, Gabriel is a troubled young man.
Incarcerated for years on the grounds of mental illness, he is eventually released; cured but for senseless and reoccurring dreams featuring a woman he only knows by name, a woman who calls to him, a woman by the name of Mélusine.
He lives an aimless existence until his mysterious ring, noticed by a gypsy and given to him as a child by his dying father, reveals a secret ancestry of which he knew nothing; answering questions but raising many more, as his past and impending future are brought to uncertain light.
St-Clair, European nobleman, treasure-hunter and monarchist, knows Gabriel’s dreams to be real, knows of Mélusine as a long lost princess descended from of an ancient royal bloodline. She is his ultimate goal, the goal his family has desperately tried to obtain for over a thousand years, a goal that has been underground, slumbering, waiting to return, and to which Gabriel is the key; the key to unlock power of Godlike proportions.
Catherine, a leading scientist, knows also of the physical secrets of this bloodline, secrets that only Mélusine and her blood can reveal, secrets that, if united with Gabriel, would conjoin two ancient lines and forever change the course of humankind.
Rabbi Samuel, expert in religion and ancient cultures, knows all too well the implications of Gabriel and Mélusine and the unification of these divine and mythical bloodlines.
A Messiah has been predicted.
A Satan or Saint? A Golden Age or Apocalypse?
The adventure begins as Gabriel, saved from his darkness of ignorance, sets off in his quest for Mélusine and enlightenment, on a dangerous journey of profound self-discovery and of unimaginable significance upon the fate of our planet itself.
It is a quest for the Lost Bride, the Feminine Divine, the Eternal Woman and the Mother Goddess, through Art, Science and Religion, through Renaissance, Alchemy and Resurrection, unlocking mysteries of folklore, revealing a story of Love and Faith; of our Wasteland returning at last to Fertility.
