The Journey Begins...

​

With the fate of a collapsing world hanging in the balance, battle-weary Commander Zinkx Maz embarks on a quest to the distant land of Pennadot to find the Key of legend...or die trying.

No one knows what the Key is and what it unlocks - only that it may be their last chance of survival. Zinkx joins forces with a woman escaping a life of slavery and together they must uncover the secrets left behind by an ancient race, before the horror of the trenches that has followed Zinkx destroys everyone he crosses paths with as it hunts him down.

​

Caught up in the mayhem is none other than the Prince of Pennadot, along with his troubled ward, Skyeola Mazaki. The Prince is easy prey, trapped in a web of intrigue, with a greater monster lurking in his own court. Does Skyeola know enough of the ancient secrets to save them both? Or is he being used as a pawn to topple the throne?

The tides are changing.

Zaprex technology is awakening.

After two sol-cycles trapped in a box with a ragtag group of sick and starving children, the golden Kattamont Denvy Maz is finally free. Now, with the help of the Messenger Hunter Titus, he is taking his adopted 'cubs' home to the desert land of Utillia where they'll be safe from the impending eruption of Coltarian. But the Twizels' yoke remains locked around his neck, robbing him of his immortality when he needs it most.

For Jarvis, infected by a Zaprex protector bot and gradually becoming a Human-machine hybrid, Utillia is unlike any place he has ever known. Mist-powered sailing ships travel on oceans of shifting sand, captained by gigantic Kattamonts, while from beneath the dunes come the lonely calls of long-abandoned Zaprex cities. And all the while, on the periphery of his optical lens, a warning signal flashes. This sector is destabilising.

They are about to cross paths with an outcast Kattamont Queen bent on vengeance and a Human scavenger with a great deal to hide.

Denvy and his cubs have forged a new family but their bond will have to shift and change as quickly as the sands of the burning-sea they are sailing upon.

The tides have changed.

Beneath the burning-sea, a voice is calling. Who will follow it?

​

Separated from the Lawless Child and pursued by a monstrous Ki’rayh, Jarvis and his companions—the Messenger Hunter Titus and Kattamont prince Aaldryn, host to the volatile wind-god, Khamsin—are in a desperate race across the expanses of the burning-sea to reach the House of Flames before Coltarian erupts.

​

For Human-machine hybrid Jarvis, his mission to deliver the vital Map-piece to the Key takes precedence over all else…except when his will is overridden by his protector bot, programmed to respond to every distress signal. With the cries from the deep impossible to ignore, can his companions keep Jarvis from jeopardising his mission, his sanity, and his life?  

​

Jarvis has left his beloved Ki’b behind on the Lawless Child—safe with Denvy, Clive, and Penny…or so he believes. But, without the advantage of Khamsin’s winds, the misfit crew of the Lawless Child is forced to fight for their lives as every Pride in the area homes in on the ship of the Outlaw Queen Zafiashid.

​

Can Denvy, the legendary Gold Lion, face his fears to save those he loves, or will he have to add their names to the scores of deaths he holds himself responsible for?

Will the terrifying secrets of the burning-sea consume them all?
