Eighteen-year-old Kael Renix is a scrap salvager on a dying mining moon. He has no family, no future, and no interest in either. What he has is a good eye for danger and a quiet talent for surviving what he shouldn't.
Then one night, the stars move. And something in the dark above Virex-9 notices him back.
Pulled into the wreckage of a banned order called the Luminaries — guardians of a cosmic force the ruling Dominion spent a generation trying to weaponize — Kael finds himself caught between a mentor who hid the truth, a defector who might be the most honest person he's ever met, and a fallen guardian who sees in Kael either his replacement or his executioner.
The Dominion wants the Axiom controlled. The Luminaries wanted it balanced. Kael just wants to understand why the sky moved — and why it feels like it moved for him.
