The Nexus

Readers of The Vigil (2015) asked for a sequel. The Nexus is the story of the seven generations of humans that parallel our bears. The polar bears believe they are the guardians of the souls of all creation, maintaining a constant vigil over the polar ice. Join Juvante is a polar bear who dies but doesnt join the sacred vibration in the ice. Follow his journey as he tracks the descendants of the hunter who killed him and grapples with his own experiences as he comes to terms with the changes in our world.

Oleander Main is a novelist whose writing encompasses themes of relationships, belief systems, personal authority, and societal and global shifts. The name Juvante in The Nexus was inspired by the motto Deo Juvante which she learned of during her fi rst visit to Monaco. She is grateful to the Principality of Monaco for the inspiration and leadership they steadfastly provide to the world in the areas of environmental concerns and protection efforts.
