A Meeting at Corvallis

In a world drastically reshaped by 'the Change,' where all technology has mysteriously vanished, "A Meeting at Corvallis" plunges readers into the heart of a burgeoning conflict in the Pacific Northwest. Ten years after the inexplicable event, pockets of civilization cling to survival. West of Salem, Michael Havel’s Bearkillers maintain peace and order, allied with the Clan Mackenzie, a spiritual community led by the bard and High Priestess Juniper Mackenzie. Their fragile alliance stands as the last bastion against the tyrannical Norman Arminger, the self-proclaimed warlord of Portland, whose dream of a brutal neofeudal empire threatens to engulf the entire region. Arminger, backed by his formidable knights and the insidious Lady Sandra, has spread fear and oppression, but his expansion has been held in check by a delicate political chess match: his daughter is held by the Clan Mackenzie. As tensions mount, Lady Sandra orchestrates a cunning plan to retrieve the daughter, a maneuver designed to shatter the fragile peace and ignite open warfare. This forces the disparate factions to a perilous meeting at Corvallis, where alliances will be tested, betrayals uncovered, and the very future of the post-Change world will be decided.
