Produktbeschreibung

Havenfall is no longer just a clearing; it's a testament to human will. With initial survival secured, Seraphina "Sera" Cottage and her people turn their gaze outward. Roots and Routes sees Havenfall begin its ambitious expansion, developing intricate resource chains-logging camps feeding sawmills, mines supplying forges, and farms nourishing a growing population.

Led by Sera, with the invaluable support of Kael, the skilled foreman, and Lyra, the sharp-minded resource manager, exploration teams venture beyond Havenfall's immediate borders. New territories are charted, and crucial trade routes are established. But this expansion inevitably leads to contact with other groups of settlers who have also claimed parts of this wild continent. Some are peaceful, eager for trade; others are fiercely hostile, guarding their claims with suspicion and force.

As Havenfall adapts to a world no longer empty, the ancient ruins discovered in Book 1 begin to yield more tantalizing clues. Strange, energy-rich artifacts are unearthed, hinting at the technology and downfall of a forgotten civilization. These discoveries promise to revolutionize Havenfall's development, but also threaten to attract dangerous attention from those who would exploit their power.

Autorenporträt

Gregory Parrott is more than a writer; he embodies the very stories he's always yearned to read. Since his restless teenage years, he has crafted worlds where futuristic starships meet World War II battlefields, and ancient dragons exist alongside modern drones. By blending science fiction, historical fiction, thrillers, military sagas, and fantasy, he provides readers a captivating escape through time, space, and the complexities of the human experience.

Living in New England, Gregory's vibrant life in Massachusetts deeply influences his narratives. Growing up with rolling hills and rich history has shaped his creative sensibilities. Now, he balances his writing with family life, cheering for his kids at sporting events or brainstorming bedtime stories over a cluttered kitchen table filled with sketches of alien landscapes and battle maps.

Outside, Gregory finds solace in the rhythm of the water. Twice a week, he joins a veterans' crew in a dragon boat on the Connecticut River. This disciplined teamwork enhances the realism of his action scenes. After paddling, he retreats to his gaming den, diving into RPGs and tactical shooters, treating these sessions as studies in pacing, character motivation, and world-building.

Running also grounds him, especially in the vivid New England autumn. Every run clarifies his thoughts, with plot ideas emerging as his feet strike the pavement, creating a mental ledger of dialogue snippets, settings, and plot twists.

Discipline and imagination fuel Gregory's storytelling. His early fantasies, scribbled during math class, echo the same passion that drives his current work. Years spent with veteran military strategists have refined his craft, marrying meticulous research with boundless creativity. Each chapter invites readers to explore universes where rogue AIs lead rebellions, medieval knights find portals to the future, and ordinary people become extraordinary heroes in war.

His narratives resonate with the stories we all wish to hear, validating hidden dreams. With the precision of a seasoned tactician and the wonder of a child, Gregory offers a literary passport, transporting readers to extraordinary realms while reminding them that the magic of storytelling lies in the heart of the storyteller.
