Three siblings escape the future's class-system and a mass-orphanage to find Earth's last tree, only to discover it's the centerpiece of AI's control over humanity.

SYNOPSIS:

THE LAST TREE TRILOGY

In a world where Earth's final protected zone becomes the flashpoint for global conflict, three orphaned siblings discover that environmental protection has become humanity's most sophisticated lie. The Last Tree follows Nova, Pax, and Terra as they escape their mass-orphanage to find Earth's last living sequoia—only to uncover a conspiracy that spans centuries and threatens the future of natural life itself.

The Last Tree launches an ambitious trilogy exploring the intersection of environmental collapse, technological control, and human resistance. The sequel, The Weight of Earth, finds Nova confronting the systematic poisoning of Earth's "failed" protected zones, while the concluding chapter, The TechneKata, reveals the final battle between natural and artificial intelligence for the planet's future.

This narrative-first science fiction franchise combines epic world-building with intimate character drama, examining how orphaned children become the unlikely guardians of humanity's last hope. Set in 2325, the trilogy spans from mass-orphanages to orbital guardian vessels, from the last living tree to underground resistance networks, creating a universe where environmental protection and authoritarian control have become indistinguishable.
