In a galaxy reborn from exile, magic is power—dangerous, beautiful, and utterly corrupting.
Centuries after fleeing a dying Earth overrun by the Reaped—husks of humanity, twisted by a mysterious disease—society survives beneath the iron rule of the Bastion. Controlled procreation, militarized magic, and interstellar expansion are justified by one truth: the arcane must be weaponized or destroyed.
Aric never asked for power. Born to the moon-side farms of Myria, his only ambition was to live quietly and keep his head down until his mandatory arcane test. But when a forbidden surge of magic awakens in him—and a military command tries to manipulate him—Aric is thrust into a shadow war waged between rebels, the government, and something far older than either.
Beneath the stars, secrets fester. The R.I.N.G. system, known as the Bastion Crown, hides a link to the Hollow, the void from which all magic flows—and where something monstrous waits. The Reaped were only the first warning. The Hollowborn are coming.
Allies are scarce, and trust is a currency Aric can’t afford, especially when a new friend begins to stir something far more dangerous than desire.
Aric may be the last chance to stop the Hollowborn… or the one destined to lead them.
