The Imperial Combine has known peace for a whole generation, and even Earth's most distant colonies are prospering. But something out in the endless dark has been watching humanity in silence, and covert operative Elm Caden is about to discover the first hints of hostile activity on Imperial soil. The only question is whether he will recognise the threat in time.
Accompanied by his loyal counterpart Rendir Throam, self-made pilot extraordinaire Euryce Eilentes, the battle-hardened Captain Aker Santani, and the dubiously helpful Bullseye Company, Caden is about to journey into a shadowland of military secrets and undeclared enemies. And he truly has no idea of the horrifying scale of what lies in wait...
This extraordinary debut novel is an immersive, multi-layered story which slams open the door to a rich, new universe; a universe as vast as it is disturbingly real. It is the first volume in a five-book story arc, and lays the groundwork for everything that follows.
