The world is young, dark, and rough. But the bright light of civilization illuminates the highly advanced Island Nation of Athlan, a country of order, balance, and progress.
However, the world is changing, and what is solid becomes fractured. Amidst this epic era of devolution, the never-ending cosmic battle for control of earth has centered on Athlan. While celestial forces gather, wielding power unimagined, the Marfach Gardai, human defenders of Athlan, ready themselves for the final conflict with the lethal, mindless Armies of the Night. Athlanians, great and small, men and women, will die in bloody droves, incapable of understanding or escaping their fate as Great Athlan destroys itself. Witnessing the battle for her planet, Mother Earth joins the fray with a small but extremely potent cadre of once-women who defend the earth with their lives. In the end, everyone will become a pawn on the empyrean board of life and death, and the game is in doubt . . .

REVIEWS:
"Fast paced first in a series of a post apocalypse world.
The story evolves quickly and clearly even though it is preceded by cataclysmic events of the past. It's somewhat apocalyptic but then emerges as a story of both conflict and hope. The most charismatic characters are female and not in a cliched manner. There are well drawn villains but at least in this first of a series no obvious singular heroes. The book leaves you wondering who will emerge as a protagonist, if any. The dialogue is somewhat stilted but appropriate for the genre and setting. This first in a series is about 175 pages and moves quickly and enjoyably. I feel excited about the battles and challenges to come as Mr. Fitzgerald is drawing us into this world very skillfully."
