Amidst the Flames

As the skies above Avantica blackened with the smoke rising from the smouldering ruins of what was once the thriving capital of human civilization, everything became clear. The war was lost, the world beyond saving. One, lone dragon was difficult enough to kill- but an entire, united army of such beasts was impossible to beat.

Humans used to live everywhere, from bustling coastal trade ports to tiny, inland agricultural villages. Now, within the space of a couple of years, almost every sign of human culture has been burnt to the ground, and the few souls lucky enough to survive the onslaught have retreated to concealed slums. Their only hope is to remain hidden and pray that they are not discovered, for none have faced a dragon alone and returned to tell the tale... That is, until Clayde Austin discovered his strange gift for shape-shifting.

Armed with his new found power, Clayde takes to the skies in search of answers and solutions, but not even he can control the darkness within his soul.
