Synopsis

In the vast expanse of the Aphelion Drift, where ancient mysteries drift through the void and cosmic anomalies tear at the fabric of space, Captain Lyra Solari commands the HPS Dawnmender—a ship dedicated to exploration, rescue, and the impossible.

When a distress signal leads her crew to a shattered fleet drifting among broken stars, Lyra discovers more than survivors. She finds evidence of something that should not exist: technology that predates humanity's journey to the stars, artifacts that hum with purpose, and a mystery that will challenge everything the Horizon Pact believes about their place in the universe.

As ancient powers stir and the Drift itself seems to respond to their presence, Lyra and her crew must navigate treacherous politics, cosmic dangers, and the bonds that hold them together. In a universe where every jump could be your last, some discoveries are worth any risk.

The first novel set in the Aphelion Drift universe—where exploration, friendship, and the unknown collide.
