For fifty years, humanity has stood its ground against the Drechnai. Tyrants of the first order, these beings have wiped out over a dozen spacefaring races, and they’ve done everything in their power to make humanity the next.

But for those fifty years, humans have scraped out a desperate battle for survival, relying on determination, tenacity, and raw courage to overcome our foe’s impossible technological advantage. Fifty years of constant war has honed our species into a deadly blade.

Without warning, the enemy sued for peace. But Captain George Oliver doesn’t trust them at their word, believing that this is some new deceit. Despite his misgivings, Earth’s fleet goes to sign a peace accord with the Drechnai.

It’s a trap! The human fleet is attacked, leaving Oliver’s vessel the sole Star Carrier still intact and able to defend Earth against the strike Oliver knows is coming.

He’s not wrong. The Drechnai intend to finish humans off once and for all time, their master stroke dealing death blows to both the fleet and Earth itself.

But they failed to factor in the men and women of the Star Carrier Intrepid, who will pay whatever price is required for the human race to survive!

Cast out by dragonkind, threatened by his own family… A dragon with nothing left to lose can be a dangerous thing.

Unless, of course, that dragon is Galen Stormwing. He’s never been very dangerous. He was a failure at school, a failure at gaining powers, and a failure at keeping them.

Now his own parents have told him he needs to do something to impress them within three days, or they’ll have him executed as an embarrassment to the clan. He does the only sensible thing he can think of.

He runs for it. Survival trumps pride, as far as Galen is concerned. Most dragons won’t go to Canada, realm of the dwarf people, so that’s where he must go.

But he’s not the only one fighting for survival. Vala is a young dwarf in school to become an engineer when she begins exhibiting magical powers. There’s never been a dwarf mage before, and not all her people are thrilled about it. In fact, some of them would rather see Vala dead than allow their race to become polluted in that manner.

Both of them are vulnerable, lost, alone — and hunted. But together, they might just have what they need to save each other!

Included in this complete series omnibus:

  1. Clawing For Survival
  2. Clawing for Escape
  3. Clawing for Honor
  4. Clawing For Vengeance
  5. Clawing for Battle
  6. Clawing for Victory
