A Hidden Treasure Waits to be Discovered

Draconis.

On paper, the vast new Calanarian continent seems like the ultimate solution to remove New Argana and its residents from the dangerous Wastes. They can spread out, thrive, and be completely safe from the cruel Talented. The dragons have granted them a large parcel of land and promised to avoid it, which seems ideal.

But, people being people, not everyone is in favor of the move. New Argana’s tensions mount as more friends and family of current residents are added to the population, sparking disagreements and a level of crime the idyllic community isn’t ready to deal with.

Trevor Harrison, caught between his desire to continue building his mechanomagical creations and the inevitability of fulfilling a leadership role over New Argana’s squabbling residents, takes a break to explore potential settlement locations on Draconis.

He has no idea how much his life is about to change.

When a seismic disturbance reveals a hidden cavern containing something no one, human or dragon, could ever have expected, Harrison must make a decision—one that will not only alter the course of his life, but that could lead him to willingly sacrifice almost everything he has ever cared about.
