Mira Thorn wakes from a 10-month coma to a galaxy at war. 

The Blackened rampage across the Frontier,  leaving dead planets in their wake. 

Federation and the Alliance fleets are committed to battle. Vastly outnumbered and outgunned, their numbers dwindle with each encounter.

Yet, a spark of hope remains. 

Following a trail of mysterious symbols, Mira struggles to unravel the secrets of the ancient Pharn Empire. 

Mira isn't alone in her quest. Polly Jennings, a brave FBS reporter, teams up with a group of reserve soldiers on the distant world of Kyko fighting to protect their home from the invaders. 

Together, Mira and Polly search for a hidden chamber of secrets deep beneath the surface of Kyko.

But the Blackened, who also covet the knowledge buried in the ancient archive, watch their every move.

With danger following closely behind them, how will Mira and Polly uncover the past before the Blackened consign humanity to oblivion?
