The ship's arrival fractured more than time. It fractured identity. The second book in The Long Inheritance follows the widening consequences of the Gravitar event across both threads. In the sci-fi thread, the scattered survivors begin to understand what they've become. In the fantasy thread, the empire's grip tightens as the elemental Avatars edge toward a confrontation no one fully understands. As the two threads accelerate toward each other, the inheritance becomes clear: everyone on this world is made of the same catastrophe. Fountforge is the second book in The Long Inheritance. Book 2 of 5.
