Aelion Yamada was just a network technician trying to survive the shadows of Veridora. But after a single, instinctive act of intervention reveals reflexes he shouldn't possess, his quiet life is erased. Fired, marked by the Council, and drafted into the Vanguard, Aelion is thrust onto the deck of the Primarch—a long-range cruiser built for a mission the crew doesn't fully understand. As he navigates the cutthroat world of elite military training and deep-space exploration, Aelion discovers a set of encrypted coordinates buried in his father’s past. In a universe governed by the Council’s absolute dominion and the threat of the next Tidal Reset, Aelion must decide: will he follow his orders, or will he burn the map to find the truth?
