The primordial forces that built the universe are dying. In their place, entities from the dark spaces between the stars are moving in to claim the ashes. Enter Mordan Gauge. Gifted—or cursed—with the dying remnants of both creation and destruction, he is the most dangerous target in the cosmos. Every step he takes lights a beacon for cosmic hunters. To survive the onslaught, he must master the volatile, world-tearing powers mutating within him. He must trace the lineage of the flame back to the very beginning. The hunt is on, and the universe is watching.
