I was a protector, not a saint.

I had obliterated myself in the most irreversible way. It made perfect sense at the time.

Irreversible? What was I doing back on Terra? Reality is a funny thing in a universe ruled by dark energy, minds unburdened by souls, and hearts gone missing.

The inquisitor called it the Phantom protocol and said it would restore all that was lost. If only it were that simple. A message arrived from the Warmaster—one word to ignite a war—and I'd become a phantom fighting an unknown foe.

In the dark, distant future, a battle psyker returns from beyond the Veil, upsetting the balance of power on the Emperor's home planet of Terra. Old friends and powerful factions face-off in a deadly game to control an inconceivable threat.

Who will come out on top? Listen to find out!

Part adventure, part mystery, this dystopian science fantasy novel is appropriate for Adult and Young Adult readers.
