Imagine an alternate Earth where geological chance shifted the balance of life itself. Eons ago, a fraction less iron and an abundance of water reshaped our world—leaving humanity isolated on a solitary island, with oceans consuming 97.5% of the planetary surface. For countless generations, mankind assumed their island sanctuary was all that existed. Then satellites pierced the veil of mystery, revealing two distant continents hidden beyond the horizon. Driven by the promise of discovery, humanity launches its greatest expedition. Tragedy strikes relentlessly, claiming nearly every member of the crew. Doctor Alexander Pryce emerges as the sole survivor—the first human to ever set foot on an alien shore. What awaits him is far more remarkable than he anticipated. Among the native inhabitants dwells a dragon—intelligent, curious, and utterly unlike anything human science predicted. Communication becomes both miracle and necessity as Pryce navigates first contact with a sapient species. Stranded in an unknown world, Pryce stands as humanity's only voice. His choices, his words, his very presence will decide whether two species can coexist—or whether contact itself will reshape both their worlds forever.
