An immortal boy leads his gang of aliens and mortal humans into the strangest new world. This is Marrow, a secret realm hidden at the heart of a giant star-faring vessel called the Great Ship. Marrow is a violent world built from iron and fire, populated with insects and desperate children as well as ancient entities called dragons. These dragons are gods, any one of them capable of unimaginable destruction. And they need this terrible power. They have the best reasons. Every dragon is defending Marrow against its many enemies. For long eons they have done nothing else, and the system has grown quite stable, even comfortable -- in a bloody fashion -- right up until a new dragon arrives without warning.
