The Red Singularity

They took his wife and killed millions. To say their name aloud is to invite the devil into your home.Across a dying multi-planetary system ruled by the Ascendant Authority, disasters arrive on schedule, and answers never do. Civilians wear scarves against the fog. Outer worlds are written off. And somewhere beyond the reach of the Authority's orbital stations, something older watches, waits, and takes.Ventra is going to find the things that took his wife. He's going to make them bleed for it. He doesn't yet understand what that will cost him, or what he'll have to become.But the system is bigger than his grief. On a faith-bound world, a woman named Gemsi prays through the screams of a daughter who isn't there, her devotion fracturing one silence at a time. On the outer rim, a guard named Bailey watches her homeworld die in slow motion and makes a choice she cannot take back. Now she sits across a board from a superhuman prisoner who knows her name, her family, and her shame. A blind man hunting the same things Ventra hunts. A man not afraid to name them.The Toran.Four lives. One collapsing system. A truth older than the Authority itself.New chapters weekly.
