Polluted Metamorphoses (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798822913684)

Evolution commands a never-ending twist

The ancient undying dragon Oragius rumbles underground, fueled by the sacrifices of hundreds of cultists and millions of tormented souls. Humans of every shape and size above ground vary in their decision to fight or surrender, all the while dealing with a plague of epic proportions. For the one that is key to stopping all the perverse undying is non other than Nila Straese, a young dark mage tasked with stitching the accumulated rifts in space-time formed by the reckless sorcery of generations.

Farsen Carntus inherits vampire blood from the ancient Thardendorf clan, and becomes Nila's improbable ally in the struggle against the undying. As mortal factions are forced to ally, the young commander Bestin Steel becomes a ferocious dragon slayer, consuming the blood of the mighty beasts and augmenting his power. The bumbling conscript Malton Brice ingests one of the ancient Icen Shards, struggling to regroup a crippled military. Meanwhile, the devout Prince Mellwin continues his training, eager to redeem himself after the humiliation at the hands of the People's Icen Republic. As the twisted resurrection threatens to alter all life on the planet forever, Nila struggles with the throes of youthful anxiety, ambivalence, and insecurity in her quest for power.

Although the mortal warriors are intent on organizing an impressive resistance, Oragius and his minions seem to always have an upper hand. For how long can humanity fight against its own desperate please for rebirth and redemption?
