Something has already happened to Hannah.
She just doesn't know what it is yet.
What begins as a quiet sense that something is off quickly unravels into something far more precise, controlled, intentional... and impossible to explain.
The truth, when it comes, doesn't feel like an answer.
It feels like a decision that was made without her.
And whatever was set in motion
isn't finished with her yet.

Charlotte, Beckett, Swanmere lives as her father's untrimmed hedge. Merlot Rainbaum searches for a miracle cure to heal her mother, who is none other than the Queen of the Mermaids. Railey Ferntoss, renown across the Western Sector as the Dragon Master, can't finish off the illegal trades of dragon hunters without new networks popping up in the black market like a festering fungus.

Under the guise of settling her aunt's estate, located all the way out in the Western Sector, Beckett finds herself disowned, alone, and lost on the fringes of the world she's always known.

Humanity Endures
Desperation, ideals, greed, and hope - they all have a role to play in tearing the galaxy apart. The human race finds itself at the precipice; a mysterious, monstrous force threatens everything in the cosmos, and all the while, the unity of humanity's Empire threatens to shatter just when it is needed most. Never before has extinction been so tangible a possibility, and never before has exceptional courage, intellect, and luck been more needed. This is a story about more than just people, their ambitions, and their conflicts: it is a story about crisis, set in a universe where survival, for any side, and for anyone, may be impossible. It remains to be seen if the popular patriotic saying, "Humanity endures," will remain true - even for a week. -- If you wish you purchase a paperback version of this novel, you can do so on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Humanity-Endures-Evan-Peter-Armstrong/dp/B08P8QK86H.
