[The New Earth Chronicles 03] • The Werewolves of Nottinghill

A decade has passed since the world of technology and science fell. Magical energy engulfed the planet and rendered humanity's greatest weapons and defense systems useless.

As machines shut down and infrastructures ground to a halt, hordes of ancient dragons returned to the Earth and decimated mankind. Cities fell, billions died and countries were swept away into the dustbin of history. The age of magic and monsters had begun again.

And yet, some people survived. Blessed for some unknown reason by the remote lords of Light, a few humans Changed and adapted. Their bodies were altered to allow them to function in an atmosphere thick with magical energy. And a select few became something more. Something extraordinary.

Mages were created. Wizards walked the Earth again. Paladins, rangers and heroic warriors rose to defend the handful of human survivors against the dragons and monsters that now threatened them.

Among those who changed were two young men named Malcolm Deschamps and Aiden Shen. Both of them were raised in the same small town. Both of them Changed and were gifted with extraordinary strength and dexterity. They gained remarkable skills with both weapons and tactics and together they used those gifts to protect others. And then, while out on patrol, both men were bitten and infected by a werewolf.

This is the tale of Malcolm and Aiden. It is the story of their struggle to control their bestial natures while defending one of the last bastions of humanity, Nottinghill Castle.

And it is the story of how mankind might gain new allies against the Darkness and of what part our heroes may play in cementing those alliances. Or in destroying them.

In short, it is a tale of beginnings, and of endings, on the New Earth.
