They’d found the cache of ships, the supplies, and the means to cross the Great Salty Billows, escaping certain death from a horde of treacherous Assembly guards and violent earth tremors on a crumbling continent called the Void. Leaving behind all they’d known for four hundred years, a life filled with fear, oppression, annihilation on the spidy nets and slavery, they’d sailed into the unknown, crossing violent stormy seas and facing behemoth sea-beasts to discover a mist-covered paradise of green and plenty, and a colony of gentle people who knew they were coming and have their own prophecy.But paradise lasts less than a day as the volcano, Tarnaki, spews out warning eruptions of fire and poisonous gas. The sudden appearance of warring invaders from the North threatens to overtake them, and ancient prophecies from all sides come to life as impending doom forces the wah-drones to flee southward. With their new companions, they follow remnant strands of the prophecies, seeking their promised land of plenty and journeying into the Stones of Fire.
