The World of Atom’on had lost its magic, until the Monaran crashed into its midst. Although no one saw it then, three thousand years of nescient peace had come to an end. With war brewing around on every front, a small spark would be enough to light an inferno. A surprise in the night, high above the Bellomwoods, was all it took to change the world forever. Not only did it change for Benim Arelion, cadet on The Tarantula, entrusted with a deadly mission. Many are those, known and unknown, for which fate has in store a journey far longer and more perilous than anything they’ve ever experienced before. In Tales of Atom’on: The Monaran we follow Benim and his friend-protector Alyssa, as they travel the world, searching for answers. Why was the Tarantula attacked? Why was he given an impossible mission? What secrets does the powerful Monaran hide?
