The world ended in 1712. It happened all at once, and the next day no one knew what to expect. Nations, lands, even entire cultures were turned upside down overnight. Refugees from another world now call Earth home. Everything was changed, if not transformed - including people.
  People like me.
  There are those who plan to use what happened to their advantage, no matter who they hurt. They can try.
  But they’ll find us standing in their way.
