Guardian Maia Episode 3 is coming soon!

After Maia's journey in Episodes 1 and 2, Episode 3 is nearly complete! Episode 3 is the stunning conclusion to Maia’s epic journey. Before we release the story, we’ll give some background of the characters in her world. First up, Maia herself.

Who is Maia? A guardian of the forest, a fierce warrior, strength, agility and unyielding determination forged into one. Yet beneath her triumphs lies a quiet struggle: undervalued and yearning to be understood. Her battle isn’t just with enemies, but with belonging. Maia is determined to save her friend from the ancient lands but discovers her journey is much bigger than she realises.
