Humanity has forgotten its past. One woman is willing to die to remember it.
In a future where the ruling Council has erased all of history, humanity drifts through the void, believing they were born of the stars—a sterile, comfortable lie enforced by the iron fist of the Enforcers. Neuro-archaeologist Marin Veil is an anomaly, a historical contaminant haunted by vivid, impossible phantom memories of a lush, green world she has never known. This forbidden whisper of a lost Earth drives her to the fringes of society, into a clandestine world of illicit research and dangerous secrets.
When anomalous energy signatures from a desolate, collapsed star system resonate with the ghosts in her mind, Marin knows she is close to a truth the Council would kill to keep buried. Going rogue, she hijacks an old survey ship and plunges into the unknown, with the Council’s most ruthless commander, Valerius Thorne, in relentless pursuit.
What she discovers in the silent, cosmic graveyard of Sol-X-9 is not a simple answer, but a secret of unimaginable scale: an ancient, alien intelligence holding the key to humanity’s true, engineered amnesia. To uncover the truth, Marin must interface with the dying machine, awakening its corrupted, monstrous guardians and unleashing a revelation so profound it threatens to shatter not only her own sanity, but the fragile foundations of human civilization itself.
