Tuskaloosa’s Reckoning: The Sun Sword: Book One

They took everything. He'll take it back with a sword of star-glass forged by giants. Tuskaloosa was a paramount chief who built peace from the ashes of a shattered world. For twenty years, his confederation thrived in New Tellico-humans, reptilian Manquatti, bird-like Avians, and other survivors of Earth's cataclysm living together in the town of Mabila. Then the Harvesters came from the stars. When alien invaders destroy Mabila and enslave Tuskaloosa's people, he loses everything: his town, his freedom, and his partner Talasi. Chained in darkness, he should be broken. Instead, he escapes-and discovers that Earth's ancient past holds weapons the Harvesters never imagined. The sun sword. A blade forged by the Giants in the 1st Age, sealed for millennia, channeling power that can shatter starships and shake mountains. But claiming it requires a journey through hostile jungle, facing visions of the distant past, and proving himself worthy of a weapon that could save his people-or destroy him. With the sword in hand and a growing resistance at his back, Tuskaloosa must unite fractured communities, master ancient powers, and strike back against an enemy with superior technology. The Harvesters came to extract Earth's mystical energy for profit. They're about to learn that some worlds fight back.

Ward ( Gamma World, Metamorphosis Alpha) comes a science fantasy epic about resistance, reclamation, and the power of a world that refuses to surrender. The 5th Age begins here.
