The world has never been a favorable place for the insects. Permanently branded as a pest and a nuisance, they have faced an impressive array of threats to their existence, from flyswatters to pesticides to the soles of human footwear. Yet they endured. They endured, and they thrived. They took up residence on this lovely blue-green planet long before the first human stood up on his two feet, and they will be here as ever-present witnesses to the workings of time as our cities are abandoned and reclaimed by the forces of nature. At the height of our power, we humans did all that could be done with our planet. We mapped, we charted, we analyzed, we conquered. We tamed and we eradicated. We silenced and we manipulated. Yet we could not seem to put a dent in the thick-skinned little class Insecta. Kill a roach, and there will always be another to take its place. Find a termite and you might as well have found a thousand. Through war and peace, famine and prosperity, wealth and bankruptcy, the insects endured. We are no longer the kings of this planet. The tables have turned. It is now our turn to endure. So we take inspiration from our exoskeleton-clad comrades and we endure. We endure. We MOLT Highest Ranking: #200

This story is about a fight between dragons and humans with magic and fire; the dragons with their firey breath and the humans with their swords and shields. This book contains a betrayer, a king, and three dragon eggs about to hatch. With twists and turns, this story may lead to a surprising outcome. Beware: the things inside are surprising and out of place, with sadness and joy, with adventure and fighting, and with two sides that have been on edge for thousands of years. What will happen if one falls and if it will get up again, both with faults and downs, the humans for want for power and the dragons easy to anger. Some will die, some live, but the world will never be the same again.
