✦ Synopsis

Humanity is wounded and reeling. The elite pillars of society launched a brutal betrayal that almost doomed billions.

As humanity struggles to recover, the paranoid central government has risen and adopted policies that plunge the species into more risk than ever.

All hope is not lost—yet.

A chance archaeological discovery on a human frontier colony launches the deadliest race in galactic history.

When the discovery of the ancient artifact is interrupted with surprising violence, the government becomes convinced the finding could unlock the long-lost knowledge of a powerful and ancient extinct alien race.

It’s up to tough xenoarchaeologist Cyrus and newly-minted spy and ex-soldier Kat to save humanity.

One is obsessed with science and the other with duty. The team must learn to work together with the help of an AI ally who isn’t fond of intelligences limited by such quaint restraints as flesh and blood.

But they’re not the only ones interested in the discovery.

A dark threat swirls in the shadows, hidden among the smugglers, pirates, and insurrectionists who have grown bolder in the recent years of chaos.

He will uncover the lost knowledge, no matter the risk. She’s prepared to defend humanity from all enemies. If they can survive their first mission, they might have a chance.
