RANGER | WARRIOR | TYRANT | ARCANIST

In a galaxy far from their birthplace, humanity survives, raised from ruin by the only god whose name they remember. As their civilization expands across the stars once more, wondrous knowledge awaits them: pathways through space and time, abandoned fleets of alien ships, and technology that can prolong one’s life.

But an evil slumbers there as well, one that feeds not only on flesh but on the minds of men.

Forced together by fate on paths that collide in chaos, they must fight to survive.

As their stories interweave in love and hate, redemption and revenge, one threat will eclipse their greatest fears: a being of utter darkness and its imminent return…
