In ash, faith divides. In silence, war.

When a luxury starship crashes on a hostile young Earth, its survivors awaken to a world of colossal beasts, endless auroras, and an oxygen-rich wilderness that magnifies every wound. Supplies dwindle, children starve, and fire becomes their only law. From the ashes of survival, myth takes root—and with myth comes war.

Kaelen, the zealot crowned by shards, declares eternity written in fire.
Jorran, the hunter scarred by loss, swears freedom in rebellion.
Adira, the healer, clings to mercy even as it fractures.
Cyris, the boy with scarred hands, walks between them all, claimed by none.
And Lyrix, the scribe, carves every moment into scripture, sealing their fates.

When the survivors discover the Shard Monolith, older than their fire and humming with alien resonance, faith splinters into three peoples. Each swears their truth. Each bleeds for it. And beneath the Monolith's shadow, humanity's first war is born.

A sweeping epic of survival, myth, and betrayal of how fire, hunger, and silence forged the first civilizations on Earth.
