This is a picture book 18 pages long.
Humanity has grown desperate. The Xandrian Empire, along with the Old World nations under its rule, flee their dying continent and colonize the Last World, a haven away from the fog. However, the indigenous people of the Last World, the Roh, retaliate against the Old Worlders by force, sparking a grueling war of arrows, tomahawks, katanas, steam, and clockwork. The Roh, outnumbered and overpowered by the technology of the Xandrians, fall and submit to the ways of the Old World.
To the surprise of the Xandrians and the Roh, the war was for naught. The fog found them.
Ten years later, the fog spreads across the Last World. Erza, a Roh refugee living in the capital city of New Xandria, is the only human to have ever survived the fog, the lone survivor of his village.
What lies in wait in the bowels of the world eater? The fate of the human race hangs on an unexpected answer.
To escape the media attention and the conflict between her family and Stephen, her ex-boyfriend, Aja flees to Italy. There she finds vineyards, golden landscapes, Marco and Pietro. It is time to put her life back together.
She does not know her ex-boyfriend is on his way. He is not finished with her yet.
The Breakup is a romantic tale of a woman who longs to be with the right man, only to realize that searching for Mr. Right has led her down the wrong path. Will she find what she is looking for? Will Stephen get his revenge?
They breathe.
They walk the land.
Tommy Maple is the Herald of Autumn, one of the last of his kind. Every year, with the dawn of fall, he awakens, to again wander the land. Wherever he goes, red leaves and cold wind follows him, and wherever he goes- he hunts. There are things unseen in the world of men, strange things that live in the cracks between places. It is Tommy's place to hunt them, protecting us from the darkness that we cannot see.
As the Untold Age dawns, he is one of the few faeling creatures that remains in our world. Creatures borne and breathing stories and magic, and now their age is at an end.
This Autumn , however, is different from those in the past. Tommy awakens to the taunting of an age-old enemy, and is powerless before him. Soon, a sinister tale unfolds- a story that spans centuries and the entire continent, and ends with one bone chilling point.
The Untold Age isn't coming- it's already here.
It's harbingers walk the land.
Now Tommy faces a foe unlike anything he has ever faced before. But soon it is obvious that even one of the last talebourne cannot stand against the cold that comes, and Tommy learns that perhaps, the end is in fact inevitable.
The Untold Age comes.
Although Bad Traffick is part of a series, it is a standalone novel and can be read by itself. That being said, if you like the characters, then be sure to pick up Serial Date, the critically-acclaimed first novel in the Leine Basso series.
