A planet divided by light and shadow. A war ignited by lies. And five rival pilots who must defy their factions—or let the world burn.
On the twilight world of Helios-B, ancient tensions between the Solaris Federation, the Umbral Coalition, the Orbital Sovereignty, and the Meridian Alliance spiral toward open war. When the Federation activates Project Daybreak—a massive orbital reflector capable of altering planetary ecosystems—it claims to offer prosperity. But in the shadows, others know better.
Captain Avabella Eos, ace of the Federation’s Solar Falcons, uncovers evidence that Daybreak may be a weapon—not a gift. At the same time, Commander Shad Rickman of the Meridian Alliance, Major Theyna Havrik of the Orbital Sovereignty, Darius “The Phantom” Grayle of the Umbral Coalition, and Nolan Karst of the Free Nomad Fleets each stumble upon fragments of a deeper conspiracy: the Eclipse Directive, a secret cabal manipulating all sides to trigger a global catastrophe.
As rare twin eclipses loom, communications will black out, and the final phase of the Directive’s plan will begin. The only chance at peace lies in a fragile alliance between five legendary pilots who were trained to kill each other.
