In a world where ritual eclipses mark the passage of divine fate, Kaelen is chosen to ascend through a sacred pod into the heavens. But the truth behind the celestial ritual is far more haunting.
Awakening aboard the Shadow Moon—an ancient space station orbiting the planet—Kaelen discovers a decaying remnant of a once-hopeful colonization mission. The survivors, are aging rapidly, victims of a failed genetic safeguard. To maintain order, they’ve fabricated a myth of ascension, using engineered voices and sacred symbols to guide the people below.
Kaelen may hold the key to a cure—but his genetic immunity also accelerates the station’s unraveling. Torn between truth and myth, science and faith, Kaelen becomes a reluctant bridge between two civilizations. One dying. One worshipping a lie.
As tensions rise and the moons fall into deadly alignment, Kaelen must choose whether to preserve a broken legacy or ignite a new one—at the cost of everything he’s ever known.
