Roots

What happens when your world is shattered into a million little pieces?
What happens when those pieces are scattered in a million different directions?
What happens when you lose what you thought mattered most to you?

The Cricket family is poor. Starving. Barely scraping by. They live in Darrvak, an impoverished town in the middle of nowhere. The oldest child, Theodore, has the challenge of taking care of his many siblings. It isn't going so well, six kids are a lot to manage.
Change is coming, however. Swept off his feet, carted thousands upon thousands of miles away from his home, the core of his apple becomes soured. Rotten. Infected. Infected with a disease mankind knows little about.

A epic, fantastical tale of friendship, heartbreak, the importance of love, family, and how one may cope with their inner demons- Roots is a tale of tragedy, and a supernatural one at that.
