Description

The once-great city of Gastar stands in ruins following centuries of war by undead monsters driven by an evil temple.  Victory cost the people of the knowledge to defeat another enemy, Zermon, ruler of hell, who seeks to extend his realm by annihilation of the few people left.  With the help of a sympathetic ancient dragon, volunteer fighters from the past war, and the arrival of a teen assassin named Shevata who is known to Zermon, they combine efforts for the existence of the people of Gastar.

Story Behind The Book

With all the political arguments about climate change, the key spark for this book was asking the question, "What if neither side is exactly right?" The original idea came from the sister of one of the authors, and it was intended as more of a post-apocalyptic examination of how people would cope with devastation. It turned into a thriller about trying to stop the conspiracy before it was too late.
