In a galaxy where the lines between myth and reality are blurring, one secret holds the power to shape every future. For centuries, the Aelari were believed to be a forgotten myth, their existence confined to whispers and ancient texts. But Christopher Thelley, a disillusioned corporate heir, is about to discover that the myths are real-and that his own blood holds the key to a device that doesn't just archive history but rewrites it. As ruthless factions race to claim this power, Christopher is thrust into an impossible alliance with a cold-blooded operative and a cynical smuggler. Now, with enemies on all sides and a truth that could tear the galaxy apart, they must make their choice. Because in this battle, there are no bystanders. Only winners, and those who fall.
