Dragons on a space station?


That's perfectly normal on Cirrus, a world-sized ring orbiting the sun opposite Earth, hidden from any telescope. But then magic has become normal there too, as modern infrastructure fails in the aftermath of a technological apocalypse.


The trilogy concludes with Jack and Sarah facing an old enemy. Danny Kou has returned to Cirrus with a powerful ally and a plan to take over the station. While Jack and his friends were honing their magical skills with the goal of protecting their homes and families, Danny found a shortcut: a device that controls the dragons. Because whoever rules them, rules Cirrus.


But the station's genetically engineered dragons are more intelligent than anyone knows, even Danny. They have been learning and communicating through a global Artificial Intelligence network for decades, and gained not only their own form of magic, but a method for manipulating people's memories.


Jack doesn't want to control the dragons, but he can't let Danny do it, either. Unfortunately, dragons—like people—don't always cooperate, and civil war looms on both worlds as enemies and allies race to recover the device while the dragons map out their own future: one that may not include humans.


SCATTERED is a YA adventure that spans two worlds and blends science-fiction and fantasy.
