The Divine Instruments of Redemption
Logline
Six unlikely heroes, united by fate, embark on a perilous quest to find four divine instruments scattered across the world, as they race against time to prevent the unleashing of the Four Horsemen and the ultimate apocalypse.
Synopsis
With the world on the brink of destruction, six individuals must come together to save humanity from the apocalypse. Jade and her best friend Aislinn embark on a perilous journey to find four divine instruments that can prevent the release of the Four Horsemen.
Jade, a seer/oracle, struggles with the weight of her prophetic visions, while Aislinn, a fairy, grapples with the responsibility of her magical powers. Désirée, a siren/mermaid, must confront her past and come to terms with the danger she poses to those around her. Hunter, a lion shifter, must learn to control his animalistic tendencies, and Silas, the son of Lucifer, must come to terms with his dark heritage. Phoenix, a sorcerer, must find a way to harness his powers for the greater good.
As they journey together, the group must confront their own inner demons and personal struggles, including romantic entanglements Jade and Hunter fall for each other, while Aislinn and Désirée also develop a deep connection. Silas and Phoenix, who come from opposing sides, find love in each other.
As the group races against time to find the instruments, they must also navigate the complex relationships between themselves and with their enemies. Lucifer, who plays both sides, adds to the tension and distrust amongst the group. Michael, the archangel, whose love for Lilith, the first demon, seemingly overshadows his loyalty to God and her children, who he believes are past redemption. And Lilith, who is simply bored and looking for something deliciously malevolent.
In the end, the fate of humanity rests on the shoulders of these six individuals. Will they be able to overcome their personal demons and work together to save humanity from the ultimate evil threatening their world? Tune in to find out in this gripping tale of love, magic, and adventure.

My favorite stories are suspense, psychological thrillers, true crime and magic, world-building and love and elevation- basically the extremes of light and dark!

Roshelle Simpson is GAEA. "The two things I love most in the world (other than my husband and children) are learning and laughing. The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know, the more I need to laugh it all off. I'm a professionally trained chef who owned and operated a Personal Chef business for nearly a decade. I’m a podcast junkie. My all-time favorite is No Stupid Questions by Freakanomics radio and I’ll listen to anything by Malcolm Gladwell or Adam Grant. I'm fascinated by the ways humans interact with each other, both the good and the bad. I like to learn the science behind behavior and the way a good fictional story can expand our capacity for compassion and understanding. Reading works that make people laugh while imparting knowledge and encouraging compassion is my dream job. Otherwise, you can find me embarrassing my teen by dancing in public whenever possible or making my 6 year old laugh by giving her stuffies voices.”

After high school, she moved up and down the coast of California, studying writing, child psychology, acting, and the wine industry.

This experience gave her a strong foundation for voiceover work, as she realized the power of communicating solely with the voice. Now, living in the Bay Area with her 2 kids and too many cats, she works on screenwriting and enjoys photography, drawing, hip-hop dance class, walking staircases, and communing with hummingbirds.
