Publisher's summary

Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media and narrated by Matthew Schmitz, accompanied by a full cinematic music score.

“The Garden of Fear” explores reincarnation, anthropology, theology, and evolution, through the quest of James Allison as Hunwulf, living a life that was once his own. It’s a riveting tale of primordial love and cosmic memory, set in a landscape both surreal and dangerous.

The story begins with James Allison, who possesses a unique ability to recall his past lives. As he lies on his deathbed, he vividly remembers being Hunwulf, a member of the Æsir tribe. Hunwulf’s life was marked by a ceaseless southward migration and the brutal realities of primitive existence. His intense love for Gudrun, a woman of unparalleled beauty, drives the narrative.

In their journey, Hunwulf and Gudrun face numerous perils, including hostile tribes, natural disasters, and terrifying creatures. After fleeing from their tribe due to Hunwulf’s murder of Gudrun’s betrothed, they find themselves in a village of brown-skinned people, where they learn of a menacing presence in the south.

Tragedy strikes when Gudrun is snatched away by a winged, ebony-skinned being, prompting Hunwulf to embark on a perilous rescue mission. Guided by a primitive map, he ventures into a valley dominated by a mysterious green tower and surrounded by a garden of eerie, blood-red flowers with a sinister life of their own...
