The End of All Things

Gaia can't forget the day the dragon descended over her city, laying waste to everything it saw. Humanity flees in terror of the alien weapon, but it traces their every movement, seemingly drawn by their technology to each of their gathering places.

With every nation on Earth affected by the attack, the survivors must find some way to unite if they're going to reclaim their home. Gaia might have identified the seed of hope humanity needs. There's just one problem - it's buried beneath the precarious pile of rubble formed by the dragon's first attack.

Alrayia dreams of the end of her world. While everyone celebrates the long awaited homecoming of Kantis, the Caltaran Empire's greatest warrior, Alrayia convinces her husband, a member of the High Council, to build spaceships that might keep her nightmares from becoming reality.

She alone sees the Caltaran Empire teetering on a knife's edge in the endless war against their bitter rivals, the Ruvalli. If the Ruvalli should gain the advantage - or if Kantis should fall - Alrayia's world could well unravel. In her dreams, the final blow is delivered by a mechanical dragon of immense strength.

Can the dragon be defeated? Which civilizations will rise in the wake of its destruction - and which will fall?
