The final epic battle for the galaxy has begun. With Dee lost and FTL disabled, only Hira, Eleni, and the sentient AI, Izzy, stand between Earth and Anum's demon hordes. But cut off from the Galactic Protectorate, they are on their own.

As the team scrambles for a solution, Anum takes the only Blink-capable ship across the galaxy to find an ancient weapon that will secure victory over humanity. Yet doubt plagues the Emperor. To save his people he must sacrifice millions, but is any life worth such loss?

Erish, Anum's second-in-command, still has faith in her Emperor and his grand vision, even as the Quiet Ones turn their gaze on her from deep inside the æther.

And that faith may destroy the very fabric of the universe.

The war for the Anisian Convergence has begun. Now fate will decide if light or darkness reigns.
