Echoes of Light and Static

Humanity’s time is done. Wraeththu’s time has begun.

Even before some were turned from human to har, the folks of the Gold Country, in the continent now known as Megalithica, fought against the tides of an ever-changing world, cursing the laws and politicians that killed every industry except for tourism. Even before the machine mind rose to create an army of drones set to purge Wraeththu hara from the Hollow Hills, there was fight and resistance in the tribes of the Gold Country.

But the land is quiet now. The war drones of humanity’s last stab at the heart of harakind lie defeated, rusting in the streets of Cinder Hill. The last of the Thuulhuum, a tribe of harish survivors from across the broken towns of the Gold Country, live in peace, getting by much as their hardworking human ancestors did. Life is hard, but at least the threats to the few hara still gathered in the Gold Country have been laid to rest. 

Until the drones start to rise again - and then mysteriously disappear, but to where? Until the visions come of a mighty brass-winged dragon. Until the raiders and the rain start to wash into Segerstrom Ranch, casting an unlucky and inexperienced envoy of Gelaming hara into the wild and fiery chaos that follows.

‘Echoes of Light and Static’ is the story of a har named Tule Wolf, who is sent by the Gelaming to the wild landscape of ‘Whispers of the World that Was’, E. S. Wynn’s first novel in the series. But this new story is not Tule Wolf’s alone. It is a tale of love, of strife, and the resurrection from the dust of an old enemy that may not be everything it seems to be.
