ORRIONA UNIVERSE

BOOK 01

LEGACY

For fourteen millennia, the Axrathans have been the galaxy's unwavering guardians of peace, their power absolute and their wisdom unquestioned. But the age of tranquility is over.

When the diplomatic fleet of the revered High Priestess Nienna is ambushed and annihilated by a reawakened, ancient evil, a single, desperate command is sent to a secret ally: Orriona, a sentient ghost ship operating beyond the Galactic Council's laws. To honor Nienna's final directive, Orriona must assemble a crew capable of navigating the coming storm.

Her search leads her to the galactic fringe, to the forgotten outlaws of Edgepoint Station. Her chosen are not heroes; they are survivors. Kellan Harr, a disgraced Sector Guard pilot haunted by his father's disappearance. Valunara "Val" Jaren, a brilliant but cynical engineer who keeps the station's dying machines alive with scrap and spite. Kai Kyros, a street-smart con artist and elite hologamer whose only loyalty is to his own survival. And Dr. Rian Jengu, a compassionate physician who fled the politics of the Inner Meridian Zone, accompanied by his chaotic and dangerously clever Taree'karin understudy, Nix.

This unlikely crew is tasked with the impossible: recover the Heart of Ashara, a reality-altering artifact stolen during the attack, and rescue Meyn Arkturus, the sole surviving Warden of Nienna's guard. Their mission will hurl them into a galactic conspiracy, from the corrupt halls of the black-market station Cat's Paw to the heart of the brewing war itself.

They are a found family of broken people, each running from their past. But as an ancient evil threatens to consume the stars, they must become the one thing the galaxy has run out of: hope.
