The Panagea Tales Box Set

THE TREE THAT GREW THROUGH IRON: They are traitors, murderers, deserters, and thieves. They are also the world's last hope. The ground crumbles from the dying mainland and falls into the sea. Natural disasters claim thousands of lives. Prayers are no longer answered by gods. Prayers are answered by steam machines and the Time Fathers of Panagea. Nicholai Addihein, one of the eight ruling Time Fathers, struggles to find a way to save the lives of his people. After a moment of misunderstood treason, he must also find a way to save his own. With time for salvation ticking down, landing on the deck of an immortal pirate captain and his ragtag crew of criminals wasn't a part of Nicholai's plan, but the outcasts seem to know a thing or two about Panagea's buried history ... and how to save it. With all of existence at stake, and the other Time Fathers vying to kill him for his treason, Nicholai must act fast. In a time where no heroes remain, can criminals rise up and save the world? THE GODS WHO HARVESTED MEN: They thought they saved the world, but every action has consequences. With the help of his new companions, Nicholai Addihein brings hope back into his dying world of iron and steam. Unfortunately, it isn't all he brings back. The old world gods and goddesses of Panagea's past rise with the return of nature. Though long forgotten by humanity, they remember mankind's centuries-old betrayal in vivid detail, and they're out for revenge. As Nicholai and the others scramble to end the bloodshed brought by the gods, they learn the only advice they have is absent of comfort. Hold fast. Keep your wits about you. And most important of all, don't pray. THE SERPENT THAT SWALLOWED ITS TAIL: The world fell apart, and they fell with it. After the devastating events in Seacaster last year, Panagea divides between gods and men. Once bound by camaraderie, the paths of Nicholai and the others now mirror their broken landscape. Some pursue redemption. Others seek revenge. Once hunts for a missing piece. Another searches for inner peace. Plagued by resistance, betrayal, greed, and doubt, can Nicholai and the others come together once more to unite their broken world? And who is the bigger enemy, gods or men? THE CANARY THAT SANG TO THE WORLD: 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. With vengeful deities and resistant division leaders standing in their way, they know the risks are high. But the stakes are higher than they've ever been before. Freedom from the Chronometers comes at a cost. If they're to succeed, some must pay a far higher price than others.
