EXHILARATING: Relic of Old

Long before the rise of modern empires, there was the Yoki—a civilization so advanced, so mystical, that its creations were said to be exhilarating beyond comprehension. It was the Yoki who first introduced space travel throughout the far reaches of the Galaxy. Then, without warning… they vanished. They had been missing for centuries, yet their legend lived on. Now, the galaxy lives in the shadow of a different force: the Nox Empire—a relentless power that conquers worlds, crushes resistance, and leaves nothing behind. No one knows where the Nox came from… the Yoki gives and the Nox takes. Kane Iztil is nothing compared to those great empires. A struggling cadet in Aztlaca’s military, Kane is weak, overlooked, and on the verge of being left behind in a war that demands strength he doesn’t have. But something is calling to him. Hidden beneath his training world lies a forgotten Yoki ruin—one that should have been looted long ago. Drawn by a force he can’t explain, Kane ventures deeper… and finds something that was never meant to be discovered. As the Nox threat closes in, Kane is forced onto a path far greater than himself—one that may change the entire Galaxy… forever.
