Short Story: The Forsaken are cast-outs in the world of Gaia; those abandoned by the spirit of God. A stupid mistake lands Dan, one of the Forsaken in the Deice Imperium, into a situation where one wrong move will end his life. Fitting, as a stupid mistake cast him out in the first place. The following is a story set in the world of Gaia, from my upcoming novel, The Scars Of Gaia. The main character is unique to this story, but some background characters are either in or mentioned in that novel. This story is just a small slice of what will be found within that world upon its release in 2021.
