For a young Luminari hound, stats and numbers mean nothing: until they mean everything.Kaleb’s tribe teeters on the brink of extinction as their world, Sirius, is fully integrated into the System. The Panor who once hunted the Luminari now find themselves the prey, as the mighty Sindari Empire descends upon their planet. The leader of this invasion, Emperor Satoza, the supreme ruler of the Sindari, takes a keen interest in the Luminari, seeing in them the potential for a new kind of soldier. While Kaleb harbors a secret that could spell doom for his entire tribe: he is a Crusader, a class sworn to oppose Satoza.
