UNDER THE INVERTED EYE SERIES
SHED
UNDER THE INVERTED EYE: PART ONE
The Trustee has a single fixation in her liminal existence, a desire to protect the fallen god, the Neta-Teej, at all costs. Somewhere between a guard and a prisoner, the Trustee has a voice in her head and no memory of self.
​
She floats through a vast prison complex, a downward temple to its creator and warden, General Lucien. Called the shed and cellar by the inmates, the prison is inhabited by exiles from the United Terran Coalition. They are seers, religious dissidents, and creators of inhuman entities, all with their own secret plots and a desire to become something greater.
​
The Neta-Teej, excommunicated from the Holy Tribe, finds themselves caught between a desire for self destruction and rebellion, to force the hands of those who vie for power, no matter the outcome.

Under the Inverted Eye Series
The inmates call the prison ‘the shed and the cellar’, dividing the icy surface and the labyrinthine underground mine complex.
The prison has become a nexus where the lines between faith, myth, and dreams have been distorted for the inmates. This obfuscation is the design of the Coda of Unification, a document defanging the global faiths and bringing the mask of peace to the United Terran Coalition, now aligned in humanness.
Yet, the cellar is an inhuman place. It is filled with the detritus of the global schism; rebels, religious dissidents, creators of beings deemed abomination, and those who never leave the darkness of the mine.
The prison’s warden, who’s delusions have strayed beyond the pale, manifests constant threat and obstruction. How many souls have been lost into his cellar? What must be done for inhuman beings to become in darkness? These are questions he seeks to answer.
Amid the chaos, a fallen god called the Neta-Teej still hears the prayers of followers. Time spent in the cellar expands their inner visions. Are they truth or delusion? Caught in the midst of a power struggle, the Neta-Teej begins to seek the purpose of the mad warden’s machinations, and ultimately the purpose of the cellar.
Trustee 452A, fixated on protecting the Neta-Teej, awaits another descent into the mines. With only fragments of a past and an unfamiliar voice in her head, she is plagued by those who remember her past, on planets she cannot remember. She must measure her compulsions to protect the Neta-Teej against her own humanity, even as it is eroded by the hunger of the cellar.
