Die Hüter des Weltenbaums

The gigantic branches of the world tree are home to many trunks and the source of a valuable resource, the tree sap. Only a few know how to find and utilise this sap. Pierig is one of them and therefore a man in demand - and a sought-after target. He is the victim of an ambush in which his friend Masir is killed and Pierig is taken prisoner. However, his enemies do not want to enrich themselves, but ask Pierig for help, because a strange evil has infested the world tree, and if it is not stopped, it will completely devour the plant titan. An expedition is to set out to find the cause of the disease. Pierig is faced with a choice: save the world tree or take revenge - a fantastic future parable about the perpetual conflict between humans and the environment. Genefort and Ristorcelli transport the questions of our time into a miniature cosmos and illuminate the branch on which we are sitting through a burning glass. Haunting and simply human.
