About the book
Hidden in its refuge, the Corvad House emerges with a sharpened vengeance, poised to reshape the galaxy.
After thirty-three years of peace, the age-old House War reignites with brutal force. The galaxy quakes as the once-thought vanquished Corvad House emerges from the shadows, seeking revenge. Teaming up with the Colonial Council, their aim is to completely wipe out the Nexus House, the guardians of humanity throughout its darkest times.
Inside the protected stronghold of Domus Praesidium, Nexus Lara Anderson, known as the woman without a timeline, is on a mission to navigate a dangerous time vortex. She is on the hunt for a rogue Nexus master who has aligned with the Corvad House in search of power. The survival of the Nexus House rests on Lara mastering powers that have so far eluded her grasp.
Leading the Colonial Fleet is Admiral Jon McCarthy, the master strategist and Hero of the Korilian War, who leads a desperate counterattack as the supposedly weakened Synthec forces launch a destructive assault on Earth. With defenses on the brink of collapse and enemies surfacing from within, the Nexus House and humanity itself face the dire threat of annihilation.
Fans of James S.A. Corey's Leviathan Wakes and Frank Herbert's Dune will be captivated by this thrilling penultimate novel in the Colonial Fleet saga. The destinies of a few driven individuals are intricately tied to the fate of empires, with their decisions holding the power to either propel humanity to greatness or condemn it to oblivion.
