Emberhope was a peaceful planet. 
There had been no war since the Great Migration.
When ships appeared in their skies raining death and invading troops they found themselves tested.
But these were very smart, very determined people.
The alien invaders had bitten off far more than they could chew.

​​​​​​​This is how the Emberhopers saw the events described in the books Alliance, and The Teralian War.
