Aberrant Egress

As a young boy camping in the foothills of the West Wall, Giem Kyler stumbles across a wonderfully bizarre creature

thought not to exist within the miles high confines of the Basin crater. Curiosity turns this first encounter bloody,

leaving the eleven year old with a scar and a lingering desire to know...




Seven years later this same curiosity lands him in a pinch of trouble with the kinds of people his Father

wouldn't be real keen on, and he is persuaded into a trip back up those crumbling hills in search of answers.

With his best friend Satchel at his side - always dependable, ever the cynic - Giem returns. On the back of happenstance

and less-than-stellar decision making he, incredibly, uncovers the answer, discovers a truth.




And this truth is complicated. Dangerous, even. What he finds is far more than an ecological oddity:

the dragon hatchling's very existence here in the fringes of the Basin thrusts the trio center stage of an ideological struggle between

superpowers half a world away. Who she is threatens to turn a cold war very, very hot.
