Long ago, an otherworldly creature made the Earth almost uninhabitable and nearly consumed all of mankind. Now angels protect, and rule over, New Eden—Earth’s last remaining city. By angelic decree, and scripture akin to propaganda, all redheads are enslaved. Alizard is the stubborn daughter of the two most powerful families in the city. She expects to inherit a position of great leadership until the day her hair turns red.

A World Without Trees tells a story of ultimate sacrifice amidst a harsh, violent, landscape. Alizard’s journey within and without New Eden will force her to confront childhood trauma in the aftermath of a family torn apart. All the while, the return of the world-eating creature nears.
