Florian "The Red," a calculating leader haunted by the religious wars that shattered his family, seeks to unite the fractured Mid Rim under his banner. Ruthless yet visionary, he walks a tightrope between rebellion and survival, determined to carve a future free from the Empire's oppressive grasp. Onboard the massive dreadnought Endurant, young cadet Elias faces horrors that defy imagination as darkness-both literal and figurative-spreads across the doomed ship. Meanwhile, Florian's protégé, the brilliant yet enigmatic Admiral Lucy Anne Malastar, orchestrates a symphony of destruction, her heart consumed by vengeance and her mind by strategic brilliance.
