The Endless Dark | The First Ember
Persist. Prevail. Prosper.
The Dominion's rule spanned the known galaxy, upheld by the Four Sovereigns: Valor, Unity, Fortune, and Justice. They were each bound to an Ember, a mind implant, a living principle forged to shape civilisation itself. For centuries, the Embers guided their bearers to build and protect. Until now.
When Valor annihilates Valeri Prime, it shatters centuries of peace and plunges the galaxy toward ruin. Yet a greater truth lies buried: the First Ember, the first and most potent, hidden from history.
Syra Jharis, a disgraced pilot turned smuggler, accepts a high-risk mission to retrieve an artifact that could earn her freedom. Instead, she awakens Calyix Solvaris, the last heir of Valeri Prime, frozen in stasis for two hundred years with the First Ember bound to his mind.
Thrust together in a fragile alliance, Syra and Rix navigate a galaxy of fractured loyalties, dangerous politics, and an attraction neither dares name. As the First Ember stirs, so too does the possibility of reshaping the galaxy or watching it burn.
18+. Explicit and graphic depictions of heavy themes.
