Executor Hunter 2: Ships' Cemetery

By Atra

Pentaworld, Nexal Continent, year 1420.

The Idekrad Stronghold was attacked by a powerful leviathan executor of the Empire of the Hundred Phoenixes and has fallen: now the metropolis of Navan, still under the control of the Deson Bloc, is at the mercy of the imperial attack fleet.

The day the siege begins, the young Alam and his mother are among the Deson refugees from Idekrad who have found shelter in the city of Navan.

Navan seems to be condemned to be invaded by the superior imperial forces, but the Deson Bloc has the Pentaworld's largest academy of executor hunters right there: will it make a difference?

"Ships' Cemetery" is the second story in the series " Executor Hunter", set in the dystopian steampunk universe of "The Pentaworld's Cantos" created by Atra.
