VAIRONIAN TIDES.

Enjoy every bad decision Darion and Tolrek make, including:

🙃 The video that's never leaving the multinet.
😆 The fight that lands them in front of the Empress.

Book Cover for Vaironian Tides by Octavia Atlas. Two men stand side by side, with a planet as a backdrop. Buildings are below the men, forming a cityscape. Various airships fly above the city. Text: 1) They have different agendas. 2) Darion: You can't stop yourself. 3) Tolrek: Maybe you're easily provoked.
