Book 2 of The Last Gardener Series
The Final Aeon
Book 2 in The Last Gardener Series
Time is running out — and the waters are rising.
Synopsis
Dameon Gardener has recently learned that he is The Last Gardener, the person solely responsible for saving the world from drying up and dying. He was able to save the vault of seeds for the future, but now Dameon and Lan must travel to a time when the post-nuclear earth is flooded with the tempestuous waters of the melted ice caps in hopes of saving at least one drop for the withering future.
Will they be able to navigate through the raging, creature-infested waters with crazy Captain Hurley at the helm? Especially since it isn't just pirates and Elementerprise they have to worry about chasing after them.
Deadly plagues and the beasts of The Howling are also on the prowl. Most importantly, will they be able to find the life-saving serum and return in time to save Jaxson before it is too late?
Cast
Characters in this book
- Dameon Gardener
Protagonist — inventor, heir, and The Last Gardener
A young inventor who would rather be tinkering with gadgets than saving the world. After inheriting his grandfather's estate, Dameon discovers he is the only person who can rescue a future earth from collapse.
- Lan
Companion and ally
Dameon's partner on the journey through the flooded post-nuclear future. Lan stands beside him as they hunt for a single life-saving serum across a drowned and broken world, and helps keep him alive when everything else in The Final Aeon is trying not to.
- Captain Hurley
Reckless captain of the future seas
A wild captain who pilots Dameon and Lan through the creature-infested waters of the future earth — a man as dangerous as the monsters he sails past, and quite possibly the only person who can get them where they need to go.
- Jaxson
The reason for the race
Dameon's quest in The Final Aeon turns urgent because Jaxson is running out of time. The serum has to come back before he does — and that single condition is what turns a long search through the drowned future into a race against the clock.
