The Fallen World

Alexandra Rousseau, an engineer from the European Federation Star Navy, is launched into hyperspace when an FTL jump goes wrong. She wakes in a world of magic and monsters where a mysterious Order transforms her into a dungeon core. The transformation grants her the power to bring back long-lost technology and take revenge on those who wronged her — but first she must survive those who would steal her core, all while hiding her true identity from adventurers and the Order alike.

Alexandra's dungeon has been discovered, and as news ripples outward, empires and kingdoms prepare for war. Her isolated dungeon sits between two nations with a centuries-old rivalry, and neither will allow the other to control it. To keep her freedom, Alexandra must forge a questionable alliance with former enemy adventurers — all while secretly building an army and preparing for a war of her own.

The Republic's kidnapping attempt has failed, only reinforcing Alexandra's conviction. She must build forces vast enough that no one will dare attack again. Her two noble allies face mounting threats to their dungeon town and are forced into increasingly unsavory alliances. And lurking in the shadows, the mysterious Order that transformed Alexandra sets its plans into motion.

The Republic's black ops have failed for the last time, and all pretenses are cast aside as its army marches on Rebirth. Alexandra and her allies gather enemies of the Republic from across the continent while she assembles her secret army for the surface. But more sinister events are afoot — a backup of Alexandra's own mind has awakened and is unraveling the gods' control programs, and ancient technology from a forgotten era is rumbling back to life.

The Republic's army is falling back in shambles, but even as Alexandra and her allies celebrate, malevolent automata from a forgotten age move against them. Relics of the Old World and the Custodians of the God of Fire have taken notice of the upstart dungeon core. As a devastating battle rages, Alexandra learns the truth of what has happened to this world — and the horrors the Custodians are prepared to unleash in their god's name.

The automata of the Old World lie in ruins, and the Kingdom has fallen into civil war while the Republic marches its full army toward Rebirth. Alexandra has no intention of waiting. It is time to take the fight to the enemy — and for that, she needs to build an armada capable of grinding her foes to dust, all while hiding her true power from the Custodians and their orbital battle station.

With the Republic's army now on their side, Alexandra and her allies turn north toward the embattled Asarian Kingdom, besieged by the slavers of Sunrise. They must liberate Darthar, the jewel of the wastelands, to restore their connection to the Duchy of Sarth. And as conspiracies millennia in the making reach their crescendo, the entire planet teeters on the brink.

With proof that the God of Fire has sanctioned her death, Alexandra marches north to finish what she started while fully unraveling the blood-soaked history of Alcheryos. The long-prepared Purge of the Custodians of the Flame has begun — spelling the end of the world as its people know it. The Order is not going down without a fight, and both giants are on a collision course that drags everything in their wake.

The United Dungeon Council's shattered forces flee north to join the Duchess of Sunrise. As Alexandra's army advances, every step fills the rebels with dread. The fate of millions of innocents hinges on Alexandra's victory.

Sunrise is no more. The New Republic has pledged allegiance, and the Kingdom owes its survival to Alexandra and her allies. It is time for a new Empire — and Alexandra will be the power behind its throne. But shadows converge on Rebirth as those who would see the new empire dead before it is born make their moves.
