Details

Doctor Aloysius Freeman and Professor Allela Freeman present hidden figures in the American story. 

As the initial sparks of the American Revolution catch flame, Jupiter Nameless is a man between worlds.

 On the one hand, he has access to all the wealth, wisdom, and privilege of Monticello, home to Thomas Jefferson, who is something of a mentor and patron for Jupiter. 

On the other hand, Jupiter is Jefferson’s slave. 

When a common errand suddenly goes awry, Jupiter finds himself facing something he’s never seen before: some new sort of blight that turns men rabid. 

Faced with slave catchers on one side and murderous, blighted hordes on the other, Jupiter and Jefferson must work together to save themselves and whoever hasn’t yet been turned.

Beginnings are formed when something else ends,
A skin that was torn, with healing, now mends,
The scars of our past are now etched in stone,
A map to the future when trav’lin’ alone. 


A home without peace makes a child want to fight,
A life spent in shadow won’t recognize the light, 
Though gray skies may gather, seek shelter from the storm,
Just rise above those dark clouds and the sun’ll keep you warm


The rivers are running, both faster and red,
Now water flows scarlet with the help of the dead,
Break free from the present, with fury and force,
And run like the river with haste from the source.


Free of the duties, and free of the shame,
Free of the people that gave you their name,
Freedom to see a better day ahead,
The freedom of death without being dead.


Now left all alone, with the pain of the past,
The trials of present are not meant to last,
When your’re left with nothin’, hold onto what counts,
Cause the harder they hit you the higher you bounce.

Song: Ballad Of The Blight

Send us a Text Message.

A storm gathers near, regardless of place,
A tempest is toss’d in each brothers face,
The birth of a land is the birth of the storm,
The weather is cold and the war is too warm.


Derry Down Down 
Hey Derry Down 


The front marches forth in both weather and war,
Each battle is fought, though there isn’t a score,
But more than their lives are lost in the fight,
For after the war, they must battle the blight


Derry Down Down 
Hey Derry Down 


The skells overtake each village they cross
All shells of themselves, their souls are now lost,
They spread ‘cross the land like the armies up North,
Devouring hope as the their blight goeth forth.


Derry Down Down 
Hey Derry Down 



But other things spread, through the body and mind
Diseases and Greed will both vanquish in kind,
A fight for the wealthy is fought by the poor,
And no soul is healthy when saddled with war.


Derry Down Down 
Hey Derry Down 


Home is the reason all battles are fought,
The horrors they wrought are not soon forgot,
But a home built on bondage will never stand tall,
And a land lost to Blight is certain to fall.


Derry Down Down
Hey Derry Down
