Ancient biotechnologies, psychotic satellites, and incomprehensible enemies…

The weaponized strain of the genophage—the disease that ravaged the world, turned men into monsters, and ended the Last Era—is in remission, but the effects of its attack on the genes of the Nethress family linger…

Tvorh, an adopted Nethress biomage with everything to prove, is tasked by his liege Dorsin to invent a permanent inoculation against infection.

At Tvorh's disposal is an unprecedented resource: a princess of the Last Era, recently released from cryostasis. In this diminished age, her knowledge and power are unmatched.

So are her psychoses and power-hunger.

When the quest for answers drives Dorsin, Tvorh, and their companions into the deepest wilds of Tellus and the blackest voids beyond it, they will learn the single terrible secret binding synapse to synapse, biomage to genophage, man to Chimera…

Past to present.

Land to sky.

And prey to predator.

Because while fractious bloodlines war across Tellus's surface, the true threat glides unrecognized through the void of space…

Heading straight toward Tellus.
