Starlight Shattered: The Unraveling (Book 1)
Starlight Shattered: The Unraveling (Book 1)
Order is the shield against chaos. Duty is the blade that defends it.
For almost 10,000 years, the Varkh Ascendancy has kept the peace. They have paved over the natural world with concrete, replaced the sky with steel, and bred the chaos out of life itself. They call it purity.
But purity has a price
On the planet-sized city of Caer Aeternum, a loose thread is about to unravel a tapestry the empire has spent millennia weaving. It starts with a young student asking a dangerous question, it spreads to a neighbor who wants to increase her social standing. It ends with a Purity Officer discovering that he has fathered one of the monsters he hunts.
Starlight Shattered: The Unraveling is a chronicle of the breaking point. Through the eyes of the oppressors and the oppressed. From the alien miners surviving amidst starvation, to the nobles bored by their own perfection, and the mechanics and monsters plotting an escape to the stars.
Witness the genesis of a rebellion that threatens to burn the entire galaxy.
The truth is not in the history books, it is in the whispered tales and the deleted files.
