WAVE RUNNERS

To win a brutal, multi-biome planetary marathon, a veteran aquatic sprinter and his reckless young protégé must leave the safety of their deep-sea reefs and conquer the hostile, gravity-defying deserts on the backs of wild, giant avian mounts. On the planet Aethelgard, every generation the tribes settle their borders through the Great Biome Sprint — a grueling, continuous marathon that tests a racer's mastery over every element of the planet. The race begins in the crushing depths of the Abyssal Reefs, breaks the surface into the arid Sky-Deserts, and culminates in Ascension — where racers must track, tame, and ride the Stilt-Striders, massive avian beasts capable of running at mach-speeds and eventually taking flight. When their home reef is threatened by the aggressive Avians, Kaelen and Omo must enter the Sprint as a relay duo.
