The end begins—not with a bang, but with a choice.
Prescott has fallen. Zevran has betrayed the species it once served. The Velran are broken, and the Oleop now cast long shadows across the fractured remnants of humanity’s hope. In the aftermath of war, amid the ruin of forges and fallen giants, two survivors carry the ember of something new.
Kovacs, once a builder of weapons, now crafts toward meaning. Jackie, the once-rewritten pilot, has become the flame they could not extinguish. Together, they have fled the system they tried to save, only to discover that exile offers no peace—only a new battlefield. From the smuggler ports of Mara Canto to the silent chambers of ancient AI sanctums, they forge alliances, test loyalties, and rekindle a dream long buried: a world where humans, constructs, and sovereign minds can shape their futures without chains.
But creation requires sacrifice. And evolution demands conflict.
