Their world is dying…

…Wardens hold all the power.

The Ruin Star looms over them.


When a boy named Gun meets an oathbreaker and a drunken scholar, he knows his life will never be the same. Driven from his desert town, he finds his place in the city.

But a revolution is brewing. The people are restless, and war looms closer every day.

What is Gun’s place in society?

Can he learn to fit in?


Aithen finds himself in a similar situation. When he saves a Warden’s life, everything gets better. But is he ready to join the military?

Will he ever belong?

What choice does he have?

One of them will enjoy privilege and station. The other will get everything taken from him.

Both will change the world.

Their world is unjust…

Is violence the only answer?

Gun wants to change all that.


But nothing is ever that easy. And when a childhood friend reappears in his life, it only complicates matters. Aithen isn’t the person he used to be. The military is tightening its grip.

Can Gun fight the inequality?

The revolution isn’t what it seems…


Aithen is pushed to the brink when he clashes with the Wardens. They need him, but does he need them? The time to confront the Dark Star looms ever closer.

Will he learn what needs to be done in time?

What is the Ruin Star?

Some, like Erich, will do whatever it takes to learn about it. The Wardens only want its power. Everyone’s fate is tied to it. They must prepare or face the consequences. The one thing that’s certain: it awaits them all.

They left their home behind…

…to explore the universe beyond.

Now they face a greater threat.


The planet, Gene, is everything that Erich loves and hates. The Vine governs everything, instills fear…and the omnipotent Seraphim cover almost everything with their shadows.

As usual, Kend urges caution, but there are too many secrets to uncover here.

What is the Vine hiding?



While Sina’s threat still hangs over the oppressors, Tyranny pulls strings, and Gun enjoys ignorant privilege.

Will Gun realize in time?

Or will their paths converge?

New threats come from below and above. Gene is at a crossroads in history. Will they withstand the oncoming violence?

Or will the Vine tighten its grip?

As refugees in a strange world…

…they thought they’d be safe.

They were wrong.


The Vine has proven to be more corrupt than the Wardens on Wold. The Seraphim rule by fear and strength.

Erich doesn’t care…

Knowledge is power.

Sina will stop at nothing to undermine the oppressors. But she walks a dangerous and violent line between truth and lies.

Which side will she choose?



Aradoneh must confront his inner demons. Cazska wants to protect her people.

Nothing can stand against Tyranny.

But as their paths converge, Gun might be the only one who can.

Will he succeed?

Who is safe from death’s cold grasp?

Everything is ending…

…Tyranny has won.

But hope is not yet lost.

When Sina lost everything, even parts of her memory, all she wanted was a life of peace on the planet she considered her home—Wold.

But the Vine has other plans.

Tam, driven by faith and desperation, turns to Sina for help. Can they fight back against an impossible invading force?

And what can Cazska do, a mere shadow of her self? Even as the universe begins to fade, there may yet remain a chance for victory, hidden in time…

But Hana has other problems.

Harrowed by her past, she seeks a future for her daughter. But Om won’t let her forget. She’ll escape Jiro, the Vine’s ruthless Justice…

…or die trying.

Is there meaning anymore?

At the end of all things…

…where can one find hope?

Sina takes refuge with the Dominion, a growing rebel military, and the only hope for defeating the Vine.

But when the Valgeren steal the power Temperance from Aradoneh and threaten Wold again, Sina must decide whether to abandon those who cannot help themselves…

…or protect them.

Hana finds herself in the middle of the danger, and safety seems far from her grasp. Her daughter, Lili, hears a voice calling her…

Does it mean well…

…or will it lead to her doom?

Meanwhile, Cazska must wage a war to stop Daedal, even if it means splintering herself into thousands of pieces.

...but our savior has gone missing.

When Roth joined the Ascendancy military as an intelligence officer, he thought he was doing the right thing. But when his father, the legendary Grey Soleis, is reported MIA, Roth is torn between military duty and family.

Someone wants them dead.
