When an ancient fairy awakens in a dystopian 22nd century, will her magic be the Earth's salvation or its final undoing?
Buried beneath the Welsh soil for nearly two millennia, Zèlde the Lifebringer-the last of an ancient, winged race known as the Oldfolk-is accidentally unearthed by an archaeologist in the year 2101. She awakens to a world she no longer recognizes: a barren, polluted Earth dominated by the technology of mega-corporations and teetering on the brink of ecological collapse.
Struggling to navigate a society driven by greed, artificial intelligence, and cybernetics, Zèlde's immense powers over nature soon catch the attention of Anton Gde, the visionary CEO of the Palindrome corporation. He believes her magical abilities are the key to restoring the planet's biosphere and propelling humanity into a new era of global harmony. Alongside Anton's cybernetically enhanced daughter, Dej, Zèlde is thrust into a dangerous web of corporate espionage and political rebellion.
As Zèlde's connection to the Earth unleashes forces beyond human control, she is faced with an impossible choice: ally with the descendants of those who destroyed her world to build a new one, or reclaim the planet for nature at any cost.
A Fairy Tale is a gripping blend of mythology and science fiction, exploring the delicate balance between technology and the environment in a future where magic and science collide.
