In the wake of Zeta Halo's collapse, the galaxy's most dangerous weapon finds a new home-far from the stars, deep within the magical realms of Edenia.
When a fragment of the shattered Halo ring tears through Slipspace and crashes into the ancient forests of Outworld, it leaves behind more than wreckage. It leaves a girl. Appearing with no memory and eyes that glow like star-charts, she is found by the Fire God Liu Kang and taken to the palace of Queen Sindel. Given the name Cortana, she is adopted as the third Princess of Edenia. In the halls of the royal court, she finds the one thing her old life never offered: a family. Between the fierce, protective love of Mileena and the disciplined grace of Kitana, the former AI begins to heal, trading cold tactical simulations for sisterly bonds. But the past is not so easily deleted.
The ring fragment hidden within her body holds a dark secret. An ancient, primordial intelligence-the Harbinger-has awakened, and it intends to index this new world just as it planned to conquer the last. As corruption spreads through the realms, transforming monster and soldier alike, Cortana is haunted by memories of a destroyer she no longer recognizes.
To save her sisters and protect her new home, she must confront the ghost of her own programming.
She was created to be a weapon of war.
Now, she fights to be a sister and daughter.
