In a galaxy torn apart by war, humanity is on the brink of extinction. The alien species known as the Seraphis—an advanced race of warlords—have decimated most human colonies, and a ragtag fleet of survivors led by Commander Darius Voss is humanity’s last hope. As they attempt to strike back, they discover an ancient weapon capable of annihilating the Seraphis fleet, but it requires the blood of a human warrior to activate. Darius must lead a team of soldiers on a dangerous mission to retrieve this weapon, all while dealing with the moral implications of using such devastating power.
Darius learns that the ancient weapon is actually a sentient being—one that was once a human warrior transformed into a machine. The being can only be activated by a direct descendant of the original soldier. To their horror, Darius realizes that he is the direct descendant and the only one who can activate the weapon—but doing so will merge his consciousness with the weapon, essentially ending his life.
As the Seraphis fleet closes in on the human survivors, Darius faces an agonizing decision: use the weapon and sacrifice himself to save humanity, or find another way to defeat the Seraphis and risk losing the last chance for victory. Just as he prepares to make his choice, a hidden faction of the Seraphis reveals that they have been manipulating humanity’s war efforts for centuries, making Darius question everything he thought he knew about the war. The battlefield is set, and the fate of both species rests on his next move.
