A buried rebellion. A forgotten ship.
A truth worth dying for.
Some truths were never erased—only buried.
When a long-dormant artifact resurfaces, so does a secret the Varkari Union thought it had buried for good. Linked to the legendary Akhona-9—one of the lost ships from a crushed rebellion—the artifact pulses with memory, and with it, the key to a truth too dangerous to be spoken.
Kryth Varos is pulled into the chase after the death of his grandfather, a scholar who knew too much. Joined by Veloria Selyin and MionsBior—a freed Thrallic whose existence defies Union doctrine—they begin to uncover a hidden history that could fracture everything.
Pursued by the Union’s most powerful warships and their most ruthless leaders, the crew races to unlock the truth before it’s destroyed again. And within the Union, one officer must decide whether to follow orders—or live with the cost of complicity.
For what lies buried isn’t just memory. It’s proof.
