 Three soul sisters from the distant planet Golealm needed matter to survive. For the first three centuries, Roboliac, the youngest, lived in various animals, learning survival lessons. After which, she shared a body with a young shaman in Tanzania’s Miombo jungle, where she learned to adapt as a human. In the shaman’s body, she sired many sons and lived in Tanzania for a century and a half, always assuming the male until her children spread out.    Her sister Jalaniac went to Spanish Town, Jamaica and Laliac only appeared when truly needed.   Another one hundred years had passed when Roboliac discovered the horrors of slavery, when she was forced into bondage trying to find her beloved son. When her offspring became obsolete, she escaped by fleeing to Jamaica. There, she met Jalaniac, who was also a victim of slavery and had lost her memory. Roboliac lived as an animal until her sister remembered, filling her with joy as she took on the role of Jalaniac’s daughter and granddaughter.     In two thousand and twelve, Roboliac desperately needed another body. Netty, Jalaniac’s daughter became pregnant but sadly the fetus seemed to be in danger. During this chaotic time, Roboliac realized she was losing her chance, especially when another alien tried to take the important fetus while she was trying to merge with it. If not for her loyal sisters stepping in at that moment, Roboliac would have been forced back to her beginning.   Roboliac surprised her sisters again when she realized she couldn’t communicate with them after being completely merged with a human named Klam.    As Roboliac, now calling herself Klam, navigated a troubled time, she made a shocking discovery: her sister, Netty’s last child, could turn into soil when hurt and later reformed. During this time Roboliac learned the startling truth about her sister, Swofiyah-she wasn’t human, but a living part of the Earth. This realization filled Roboliac with dread as she grasped the heavy consequences for their intertwined fates.   The three aliens that had tried to abduct Klam earlier secretly attached themselves to Netty, turning her into an abusive mother. Norma, being the loving sister, felt it was necessary to take Netty to Priscilla, another sister with special voodoo powers.   Meanwhile, Dan, the King of the sky beings, known as angels, became deeply entangled with Marshane, Priscilla’s daughter. Wanting to change her future, Marshane bravely decided to travel to China to teach English, aiming for a life far different from what she had imagined, the thought of aging alone with nine cats that would eat her body after she died motivated her to teach English in China.   Marshane didn’t realize that the voice she trusted for guidance was actually Dan, the respected king of angels. In a surprising turn of events, he was also her true love-an embodiment of justice meant to punish all evil on earth.    With his open jaws, he could make evil disappear. Now, it was Dan’s serious task to gather the sky beings again since Earth, lovingly called Solstilert, needed all of them to join the fight for survival.  Could Roboliac and her sisters put aside their differences to help in this crisis? And, would the humans have the knowledge and strength to face the coming attaclaps? Most importantly, could Earth survive this serious threat approaching?
