DRAGON AWARD FINALIST FOR BEST ALTERNATE HISTORY NOVEL

Trapped 1300 years in the past, they have one mission: survive.

In the 23rd century, humanity has been hunted to the verge of extinction by an alien race. When an exploratory ship accidentally travels back in time to Viking age Scandinavia, the human race is given a second chance. Pursued by the power-hungry King Harald, the four surviving crew members join a ragtag band of Vikings as they pillage their way across Europe. It will take all their ingenuity, courage and technical know-how just to survive. But survival is only the beginning. To save humanity, they must somehow return to the stars.

Thus begins a decades-long effort to teach the Vikings to build a craft capable of reaching space—a ship that will come to be known as the Iron Dragon.

DON’T FORGET TO SUPPORT THE LEGACY OF THE IRON DRAGON KICKSTARTER!

What would you pay for a taste of magic?

My name is Ruby Guinevere Morgan. I’m half Fae, with healing powers and the ability to throw the occasional force field.

When I left my home town to study journalism, I made a promise to my mum to stay hidden from the Harvesters hunting for magical blood–like mine. My first week at university, and I’m already about to break my promise.

See, I tend to poke my nose into places where it doesn’t belong, and I can’t look away when the disappearance of a girl on campus is connected to the hottest drug on the market, MagX. The same drug that killed my dad.

My search for answers drags my new friends into the fray. And someone—or something—is watching me from the shadows.

Blood is about to be spilt and it might very well be mine.
