“War & Horses”—The 2nd COG Book—Is Kickstarting Now!

The next illustrated novel from the Children of Gaia fantasy universe—War & Horses—is almost ready. And Oneshi Press is Kickstarting funding to print and distribute it right now!

About the Story

War & Horses is the second full-length book in the Children of Gaia fantasy series, following The Great Nations of Rendaraia. It will turn all your expectations for fantasy fiction and art upside down in a gritty, gun-slinging, Old-West way.
Packed with heart-pounding action and smudged with a grimy atmosphere of guns and grit, War & Horses is like no fantasy novel you’ve read before. Written by Peter Lampasona like dime-store Western adventure, with illustrations by Chris Covelli and Jayel Draco, War & Horses is more than just a weird western—this gritty adventure is the first Children of Gaia fantasy book to be set in the realm of Terra, where humans rule, technology is fast advancing, and resources are running dry.
Deep in the dustbowl of the newly formed Republic of Draven, the old aristocracy coexists with a new government in an uneasy peace that’s often broken by conflict. Famine and drought wrack the once-fertile region—and violence is a spark to dry grass. Into the midst of the chaos walks a shadowy figure: the Triggerman. The only thing certain about him is that he leaves a trail of chaos in his wake. Following that trail is writer Landon Ford, a journalist documenting the Triggerman’s exploits. War & Horses is Ford’s work: a series of dime-store books popular in both Terra and the new world of Rendaraia, and whispered by some to be ridiculous fiction. But the Triggerman is very real—and his true purpose may become the story of Ford’s life.

About the Music

Children of Gaia is a vast universe stretching across multiple realms, books, comics, and forms of media. Only one soundtrack can bring them all together: the work of composer Jack Schell, AKA the Soundweaver (RIP; 1959 – 2018). We want to share his Children of Gaia soundtrack with you before it’s released to the rest of the world!

At major funding milestones (25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% funded), we’ll release a new, unreleased track from Schell’s Children of Gaia: Great Nations Soundtrack… to Kickstarter backers only! Our supporters can experience Children of Gaia books, comics, and more the way they’re meant to be enjoyed: with musical accompaniment from the Soundweaver! *Rumor has it that the full Great Nations Soundtrack album may be added as a stretch goal*

Another of Schell’s albums, Ageless Music, will be available as a reward to select backer tiers as well as a Backerkit add-on.
