Our way of life it ended faster than we ever thought possible. It didn't happen with a nuclear war, an asteroid, or a damn ice age. It ended because of another war . . . far away from us. The Ripples from that war changed the fabric of everything. If only we had known that it was just the beginning.  Most of humanity, gone. Magic, it was back. Monsters, they're real. And me, I'm different. I'm alone.  NOTE: This is a very much revised and edited version of my other book. Key elements have been changed.
