The Azure Dream was never meant to survive. But survival is what Mai J'rell does best. When a mission gone wrong uncovers a child sealed in an ancient vault, everything changes. The child isn't just another stray; she carries power the Council would burn worlds to control. Power that stirs the Dream itself, bending the ship like it's alive. Now Mai and her crew are hunted, forced into dangerous alliances, and haunted by echoes of humanity's forgotten past. Every jump brings them closer to history erased from the charts, where something waits that doesn't want to be found. Outcasts against empires, a ship with a will of its own, and a girl who might decide the fate of them all. The void has teeth. And the Azure Dream is already in its jaws.

Captain Henry Donnager expected a quiet career babysitting a dusty relic in Area 51. But when a test unlocks a portal to a world of knights and magic, he's thrust into command of Alpha Team, an elite unit tasked with exploring this new realm. They join the local Adventurers Guild, seeking to unravel the secrets of this fantastical realm and the ancient gateway's creators. As their quests reveal the potent forces of magic, they inadvertently entangle in the volatile politics between local rivalling factions. With American technology and ancient secrets in the balance, Henry's team navigates alliances and hostilities, enlisting local legends and air support in their quest. In a land where dragons loom, they discover that modern warfare's might-Hellfire missiles included-holds its own brand of magic.
