A CRUMBLING EMPIRE. A POISONED LOCH. 
AND A STRANGELY FAMILIAR FOE
EMERGING FROM THE VOID.

From out of the cold dark, they are coming. The Centurians—horrors forgotten to humanity’s past—descend on Pluto’s lifeless shores, silencing the lone research station, Persephone 1. Methodically, they burrow into the Kuiper Belt’s heart, hidden, their tendrils coiling toward Earth, poisoning anything that will not prepare humanity for kilderani—soulless unity—and the end.

​

A century of peace and prosperity, forged by Jupiter’s volatile power, is on the eve of coming to an end, smothered by a new world order. Riots devour complacent cities, Stygian waters infect Scottish lochs, and predators not seen for millennia emerge to stalk the wilds reborn. As the Earth Concord government splinters, Congressman Ezra Adams navigates treacherous plots, his faith tested by the unthinkable: a devil’s bargain for survival at the cost of all the Concord’s values.

Meanwhile, suspended above Jupiter’s raging storms, Callisto’s exoticum mines fracture under rebel saboteurs and pirate raiders. Without them, warp drives fail, lights dim, and worlds starve in the black. Colonel Lachlan Buchanan, weathered leader of the Scottish Commandos, hurtles into the void with his kinsmen—brothers in arms and blood—unleashing highland fury against Jovian conspiracies that threaten his distant family and a faltering humanity.

​

In this abyssal crucible of conspiracy, manipulation, and merciless carnage, Lachlan’s might and Adams’s virtues must forge an unlikely bulwark. Fail, and the Centurians will achieve kilderani—erasing everything it means to be human. Will fury and faith be enough, or will kilderani claim us all?
