About this ebook

A COMPLETE STORY ARC COMPRISING THE FIRST 3 BOOKS IN THE COMMORANCY SERIES (Over 230,000 Words!)

ORIENTATION:

Nobody noticed as it swept around the globe - until billions began to die. Then it got a name: The Lethargy. Everyone just gave up, all interest in life relentlessly gnawed away.

Marcus was different - he became something else: Awoken. A man able to bend reality to his will and peel back the layers of the complex world he found himself alone in.

His only true desire was to help safeguard mankind's future, so The Commorancy was constructed - a fabled safe haven for those lucky enough to get an invitation after passing his strict and convoluted entry requirements. But there are those out to ensure humanity is wiped from the planet entirely, led by a tattooed red man that will stop at nothing.

Three hundred years living a life that was never meant to be means that Marcus' grip on reality is becoming severely warped. When fifteen year old Letje finally gets her invitation she finds herself completely out of her depth. Haughty goats, an almost mythical man obsessed with changing his clothes at every available opportunity, and doors that go whoosh don't help her situation as the very future of mankind hangs in the balance.

CONTAMINATION:

The Contamination begins as Varik, along with his tattooed acolytes, threaten not only the fabled Commorancy but the very future of humanity.

Marcus, centuries old and getting more eccentric by the day, tries to fight a descent into madness while ensuring he protects the guests he had to so rudely disturb from the sanctuary of their Rooms.

Letje, the youngest of the guests, finds herself overwhelmed as she tries to Awaken amidst the bizarre behaviour of Marcus and the breathtaking architecture of The Commorancy - the last bastion of hope for the few people that actually care if the human race survives or perishes.

Bird watches it all from above, bemused by the games of man.

EVACUATION:

Marcus leads the group away from The Commorancy but his state of mind is fraying at an alarming rate.

Attacks from Varik's church and encounters with the the dregs of humanity threaten their progress, but help from those thought lost forever might improve their chance of survival.

Letje learns more about love, loss, and what she is capable of than she had ever thought possible.

Bird is no longer amused by the games of man.
