Astryx Cosmos

A planet vanished. Not destroyed. Erased — as if it had never existed at all. Kai Solarin just wanted to know what was hidden inside the ruins outside his city. What he got instead was a mark burned into his skin, a voice that isn't human, and a front-row seat to the end of everything. Now he's an Echo host — a living conduit for a power capable of standing against forces that erase entire civilizations without leaving a mark behind. Empires want to control him. Hunters want to sell him. Something ancient enough to remember when the galaxy's first builders were still alive has already noticed his name. All he has is a stolen ship and a crew that shouldn't work half as well as it does: a reckless fighter running from a power he's sworn never to use again, a tactician who's already lost more than she says, a hunter who thinks the cure might be worse than the disease. Every victory costs something. Every relic he gathers makes him stronger — and takes a little more of him with it. And somewhere out past the dark, the thing that erases worlds is done just watching. **Astryx Cosmos** is a space opera about power, grief, and the terrifying math of trying to save everyone when you can't save everyone.
