Synopsis

Shattered Orbital Series Blurb: Long ago humanity achieved greatness. At first they colonized the entire solar system. Then they decided they needed more space and built their own paradise. A Dyson Ring, almost a billion kilometres in length. It became the crowning achievement of humanity. Despite uplifting several other species, creating true Artificial Intelligences and mastering their own genetic code it wasn't enough to fill the loneliness in their spirit. And so humanity looked to the stars. Unfortunately, they didn't find friends. Instead, a vicious attack by an hitherto unknown enemy brought back war and bloodshed to their world. And though humanity prevailed the price was great. The final attack, a desperate attempt to stop the alien invaders has caused The Ring to shatter. In one final, desperate effort several Digital Intelligences sacrificed themselves in order to save everyone else. They created a nanite cloud, stabilizing the broken shards of the ring and provided an environment safe for life. But the salvation didn't come without it's own problem. Driven insane by the experiences of war and her own ego, one of the DIs jumbled her own code with the cloud. Now creatures straight from myth and fiction roam the worlds while humans, elves, dwarves and a slew of others fight for survival on the shattered worlds... SO: Alice Blurb: 500 years after "The Shattering" Whimsy, an emotional support and therapy DI accidentally finds a lost soul and decides to help, for their, as much as her own sake.  Despite their glorious past, humans society regressed quite a bit. Greed and pettiness are common once again, technology is all but forgotten, replaced with magic and sword. The world is now a dangerous place, not every DI is quite as sane as they claim, mana is causing all sorts of problems and to top it all off an ancient enemy is slowly waking up. Whimsy and Alice embark on an epic adventure, making friends and enemies, uncovering secrets old and new, and maybe, if they're lucky finding happiness and love in the process.
