About This Book

The Portal was never supposed to open. But Athrose the Dark Wizard has spent decades preparing for exactly this moment — and now twenty thousand Dragons, maddened by forces beyond comprehension, pour through into the world of Luna Mater.

Silver City is not ready. No one is.

Hyram and Elara find themselves at the centre of a desperate scramble to understand what Athrose wants, why the Dragons obey him, and how a city built on silver and secrets can possibly survive what is coming.

Into this chaos steps Kaelin the Maker — an inventor, a builder, a person who sees solutions where others see only ruin. The alliance that forms between Hyram, Elara, and Kaelin will be tested immediately, and tested hard.

Preparation is the story of what happens when the worst arrives before you are ready — and what extraordinary things people will do to protect what they love.

Character Spotlights

Antagonist

Athrose

The Dark Wizard whose patience spans decades. Athrose is not simply a villain — he is a force of terrible conviction, a man who believes absolutely in what he is doing and has sacrificed everything to do it. His reasons are his own, and they are more complicated than they first appear.

New Ally

Kaelin the Maker

A brilliant inventor who has spent years building things in isolation. Kaelin's genius is matched only by their stubbornness, and their arrival in Hyram's orbit changes the shape of what is possible. Where others see a dragon invasion, Kaelin sees an engineering problem.

Antagonist Force

The Dragons of Thraxis

Twenty thousand Gold Dragons, driven to madness by Athrose's influence and dragged through the Portal into a world that was not built for them. They are not evil — they are lost, and that makes them more dangerous than any army.
