A global superstorm.
A stranger with a message.
A quest for the truth.
They are in for the fight of their lives.

Aiden is a Pathfinder, a survivor, clinging to a meager existence within the last habitable place on Earth; the Eye of the Storm. The Pathfinders battle other tribes over scrap and temporary land, always moving as the Eye moves.

But when the Pathfinders discover their haven may soon disappear, mere survival is no longer an option – until Aiden encounters a young woman who speaks a language he’s never heard, but whose message he understands all too well; they consider it blasphemy, but there may be another place out there, beyond the Eye.

To learn the truth, they must plunge into the Storm – a chaos of swirling winds and lightning. There, they’ll confront dangers unlike anything they’ve ever seen, and wonders unlike anything they’d ever imagined.

Considered too fragile, Kal is forbidden to join the raising of the Et’Tal’s home and feels as if she has shamed her family. Her lithe stature links her to her mysterious father. He left the village to fight in the Teristaque Wars and never returned.

She meets Sarge, a strange star species called Human, who seems to know the secret of the patch from her father’s uniform. Before she can get clarity, a fierce Teristaque death squad descends on her village, murders everyone in it, and takes Kal prisoner.

Kal wants more than just answers. She wants revenge.

Now a voracious dragon is hunting me and an evil goddess wants me dead, forcing me to choose between the life of my brother or the fate of an entire kingdom.

David has lived in the US for awhile — almost 200 years. He likes the Earth alright but sees the telltale signs that we have pretty much wrecked the joint given the rising sea levels, global warming, bad air, bad water and a generally bad attitude that folks from other parts of the galaxy see as arrogant–even illegal in a galactic sort of way.
