The Gregarian Invasion

A magical competition. A rumbling from beyond the arena. An army on the move.

When mechanical giants emerge from the forest, competitor Dawn faces a sudden danger alongside Queen Margaret, Jacob, Simon, and the queen’s commander, Merlock. With only minutes to prepare, Margaret puts her people’s safety first. Dawn suspects the enemy behind the advance, but a trusted ally she might call upon is unavailable. As the ground shakes, she steadies herself and promises to protect the queen and her people.

Jacob and Simon consider how they can help. Their exchange brings a quieter note of humor and uncertainty to a moment of mounting urgency, while the approaching giants keep the arena on edge. The story closes with the invasion unresolved, at the brink of what comes next.

The Gregarian Invasion is an English-language illustrated storybook for middle-grade readers ages 8–12. It includes five illustrations and a page introducing the characters.
