In the aftermath of the Red War, and the establishment of the Confederation of Planets, all conflict has ceased, a war between the four factions that make up the government is an impossibility. However, while that may be the case a sudden break out of the Prison of Elders was executed, and with it, a scourge of mutated Fallen called the Scorn had scattered all across the system. During the breakout, Cayde-6 was murdered in cold blood by Uldren Sov, a man long thought to have been killed. While many are taking the loss in their own way, one man refuses to let Uldren go, and he is willing to do anything necessary to kill him. Even if it means breaking every code and law in the book. That man's name is Aaron-14.

What if you woke up in a world where you didn't understand anything...if almost everyone answered your questions vaguely or cryptically? That is the life of James-17, an Exo who was just revived by a Ghost. James found himself in the plains of Old Russia, close to the Cosmodromes wall. At each and every turn he only seemed to gather more questions than answers. Now understanding that he is a Guardian, he chooses to fight for the last vestige of humanity. However, mysterious things happen to him - things that are beginning to reveal to him his original purpose, and what he needs to be. The actions that he will take to find his own purpose will change the Destiny universe forever. "© Bungie, Inc. All rights reserved.
