The World of Gardian is a creative studio formed around our flagship product: The Age of Scorpius, Milo Winter's debut novel. It's a story of anti-fascist resistance in a zodiac-based world with a detailed magic system, offering a unique genre blend of sword & sorcery, romance, and dystopian science fantasy. A trilogy of books is planned. Our all-human team is proudly anti-generative AI - we are creative-led and we put people first.

I am a 23-year-old author, entrepreneur, and American-based naturalist. For over 10 years, I have dedicated to becoming a storyteller for Gardian by developing a young/new adult dystopian fantasy series debuting with The Age of Scorpius. My passion and love for Gardian drives my determination to represent artistic kinship, imaginative collaboration, and ecological education.

Editor
I'm a book lover who’s completed multiple degrees and writing mentorships with award winning authors. Though I started out as a writer myself, I fell in love with editing, and strive to bring other authors' stories to life. You can probably find me talking about the publishing industry or chipping away at my never-ending TBR.

I'm the artist behind the paperback cover! My favorite part of Gardian is the vibes: "not gay as in happy, queer as in =*¢& you!" Delighted to be working with such a talented team -- and excited to continue developing Gardian across multiple medias! (Comics & TTRPGs let's GO!!)

Kamusta! I'm a Cancer sun, Aries moon, and Aquarius rising. I was originally hired as a graphic designer, but Audra is very kind to let me draw some of the characters too! I created the logo for The World of Gardian and some character illustrations that you guys probably have seen on Audra's socials.

Hello. I'm an artist from Finland with the belief that we should build human communities as AI technology increasingly threatens genuineness, attention, and accountability. I primarily work with character designs, landscapes, and scene illustrations. I love worldbuilding. Stories are powerful.

Formatter • Illustrator
I worked on the book formatting, world maps, chapter illustrations, some postcards, and a poster for the World of Gardian. One of my favorite parts of the story is the adventure hook that leads the characters toward the lost blade of Callexus, and the creatures they run into along the way.

I'm a 2D animator, graduated in Florence! Animation has always been my passion, and the world of Gardian not only allowed me to share it with a lot of people, but also gave me the possibility to grow in a team of fantastic artists. I can't wait to do and share more with you and the amazing team behind this world!

Hello! I’m Karen! I tend to bounce around between graphic design, character design, and illustration. I did the graphic design on the limited book covers as well as some of the character design sheets. I love working in Gardian because everyone is super skilled and passionate about what they do. It’s so inspiring to see all the beautiful art!
