Under the iron grip of the Consortium, humanity has plunged into a dark age. No technology. No hope. Only obedience.

Until deep in uncharted space, an ancient warship powers up its systems. The USC Cassandra is not looking for heroes—it demands warriors.

Alongside Jeff, a battle-scarred strategist, the warrior Romi takes up her blades. Against an overwhelming force that controls whole star systems. Against a regime that knows no mercy.

A ship that will not bow. A warrior who will not break. The beginning of the end for an empire.
