This collection includes the completed tetralogy of the Panagea Tales: The Tree That Grew Through Iron (Book One) The world's end was his beginning. Whole chunks of earth are withering away from the mainland and falling into the sea. Natural disasters are claiming thousands of lives. Prayers are no longer answered by gods. Prayers are answered by machines, and the Time Fathers of Panagea. Nicholai Addihein, one of the eight ruling Time Fathers, struggles to save the lives of his people. After a single moment of misunderstood treason, he must also save his own. While running from the wrath of Panagea's other Time Fathers, Nicholai lands in peculiar company. Can a fabled immortal, a crew of societal rejects, and a silver-haired woman with a mysterious past, breathe life back into a world on the brink of death? With all of existence at stake, Nicholai and the others prepare to fight until their last breath to change the fate of Panagea. Who would ever guess that success might be just as fatal as failure? ------ The Gods Who Harvested Men (Book Two) They halted Panagea's decay. Some gave everything for the good of the land, and for the good of the people. Unfortunately, the grass isn't always greener on the other side of the iron fence. Nicholai, Umbriel, Kazuaki, and the crew, invite the purifying breath of nature back into their depleted, metal world. It isn't all they invite back. The archaic gods and goddesses of Panagea's past return with the flowers and trees. While humanity was quick to forget them long ago, the gods never forgot the betrayal that they suffered from their creators. They intend to issue a painful reminder. As Nicholai and the others scramble to contain the gods' wrath, they learn that the only advice they have is absent of any comfort: Hold fast. Keep your wits about you. And most important of no matter what else you don't pray. ------ The Serpent That Swallowed Its Tail (Book Three) After the devastating events in Seacaster last year, Nicholai and the crew find that their lives have fragmented from one another entirely. Some are out for redemption. Others are out for revenge. One hunts for a missing piece. Another searches for inner peace. Not unlike the crew, Panagea becomes a land divided. The continent severs into two landscapes: the territory of the gods, and the land of the people who managed to survive their onslaught. Invisible lines run between borders and brains. Disparities collide all around,creating tension between divisions. Soon, all must ask themselves, "Who are the bigger monsters? Gods or men?" Plagued by resistance, betrayal, greed, and doubt, can Nicholai and the crew survive their individual crises long enough to taste victory over their burdens? Or is everyone running on borrowed time? One thing is for certain: when the serpent swallows its tail, eventually, everything comes full circle. ------ The Canary That Sang to the World (Book Four) The truth lives in the songbird's cry. There's a time to live, and a time to die. Determined to bring an end to the Chronometers and the tainted legacy of the Time Fathers, Nicholai and the crew embark on their final expedition: destroying the eight objects that have brought chaos and corruption to Panagea since the day they were gifted to mankind by the gods. Vengeful deities and resistant division leaders aren't the crew's only obstacles. With each member grappling with hard realities, they know they won't all find happy endings out there. The only thing they can hope to find is eventual salvation for Panagea and her people. Freedom for all comes at a cost. In the poignant conclusion to the Panagea Tales, some must pay a far higher price than others.
