The Siege of Olympia: Book One of the Marduk Chronicles (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798183993059)

Before the Ashes Belt.

Before the Prophecy of the Twins.

Before the Kings of Olympia.

There were two worlds.

Marduk, a civilization of towering bronze cities, impossible machines, and cold mathematical certainty.

Tiamat, a living world of telepathic dragons, ancient mysteries, and the hidden currents of the Aether.

For centuries they have waged a war so old that neither side remembers how it began.

Now that war is about to end.

Speaker Nasaru, greatest scientist of Marduk, has created a weapon unlike any in history. The Mercy Engine promises victory without conquest, peace without genocide, and an end to the Dragon War once and for all.

But strange things are happening.

Dragon fleets are gathering beyond the orbit of Tiamat.

Ancient allies have fallen silent.

Machines are behaving in ways they should not.

And Nasaru's daughter, Amara, has discovered evidence that something impossible may be awakening beneath Olympia itself.

As the skies burn and the last battle for civilization begins, soldiers, dragons, scientists, and kings-to-be will find themselves caught in a conflict far older and more dangerous than they ever imagined.

Because some wars are not fought over territory.

Some wars are fought over the future of existence itself.

Blending epic science fiction, mythic fantasy, dragons, ancient prophecies, lost civilizations, and world-ending stakes, The Siege of Olympia is the opening chapter of an unforgettable saga spanning thousands of years.

In the end, worlds will die.

Legends will be born.

And the fate of countless generations will begin with a single choice.

Perfect for fans of Brandon Sanderson, Frank Herbert, Dan Simmons, Gene Wolfe, Christopher Ruocchio, and classic science-fantasy adventures where dragons fly beside starships and myths shape the destiny of civilizations.

The Song begins here.
