He wanted to avoid the spreading war.

Far, far away was just not far enough.

Introverted scientist Rex Bel-Kenita is on his way home. Snatched from the chaos unfolding on Kementhast Prime's southern continent, he has been asked by the Imperial Navy to fix a mysterious navigation issue affecting their entire armada. In return they will grant him safe passage to his family home on Damastion.
But someone else has a keen interest in the prototype star cruiser Ardent, someone who will stop at nothing to possess not only the ship itself, but everyone aboard.
​For Rex, what should have been an uneventful working voyage is about to become a nightmare from which there may be no escape...

I Dream of Damastion is a standalone novella which takes place during the closing events of The Ravening Deep, the third main sequence Armada Wars novel, and the opening of From Shattered Stars, the fourth novel. Introducing new characters and a new ship, this novella expands the background events of The Ravening Deep by exploring two of the mysteries which arise within that volume.
I Dream of Damastion serves as both a taster for those who have not yet ventured into the Armadaverse, and as a supplementary tale for those who have. The novella can be understood without knowledge of the main novels, just as the arc of the main novels is complete without the novella.
