#1 – The Tree That Grew Through Iron
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 find a way to save the lives of his people. After a single moment of misunderstood treason, he must also find a way to 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?
#2 – The Gods Who Harvested Men
They halted Panagea’s decay. Some gave everything for the good of the land. For the good of the people.
But the grass isn’t always greener on the other side of the iron fence.
The efforts of Nicholai, Umbriel, Kazuaki, and the crew welcome the purifying breath of nature back into a depleted, metal world. But it isn’t all they invite back.
The archaic gods and goddesses of Panagea’s past were forgotten long ago, when mankind realized they could answer their own prayers with machines. While humanity was quick to forget them, the gods never forgot the betrayal they suffered from those who created them. Those who were supposed to love them.
But as the new changes allow them to crawl back into the forefront of men’s thoughts, they intend to issue a painful reminder.
As Nicholai and the others scramble to contain the gods’ wrath, they learn the only advice they have is absent of any comfort.
Hold fast.
Keep your wits about you.
And most important of all… no matter what else you do… don’t pray.
#3 – The Serpent That Swallowed Its Tail
Shattered glass leaves the deepest cuts.
Nicholai and the crew find, after the devastating events in Seacaster last year, 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 has become a land divided, as well. The continent severs into two landscapes: the territory of the lesser-gods, and the land of the people who managed to survive their onslaught. Invisible lines run between both borders and brains, as disparities collide all around, creating an even larger abyss between divisions than the chasm through Panagea’s center. Soon, all must ask themselves, "Who is the bigger monster? Gods, or men?"
Plagued by resistance, betrayal, greed, and doubt, will Nicholai or the crew survive to taste victory over their burdens? Or is everyone just running on borrowed time?
One thing is for certain… when the serpent swallows its tail, eventually, everything comes full circle.
#4 – 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.
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 from all comes at a cost. In the poignant conclusion to the Panagea Tales, some must pay a far higher price than others.
