A mechanic. A power he shouldn't have. A galaxy that wants him dead.
Kaelen is an orphaned orbital mechanic, content with a life of circuits and schematics. But when he unconsciously repairs a critical communications array with his mind, he awakens a latent power-the ability to manipulate the Aetherium, the universe's fundamental energy. The act broadcasts a forbidden signal, painting a target on his back for the Synaptic Hegemony, a silent, omnipotent empire. Rescued by the rogue operative Elara, Kaelen learns he is a Resonant, a remnant of a hunted race. Pursued by a terrifying biomechanical Stalker, their only hope is a legendary refuge: Aethelgard. But when they arrive, they find a frozen tomb and a horrifying revelation that redefines the entire conflict. The hunter is not what it seems, and Kaelen is not just a survivor-he is the key to a war he never knew existed.
