For many years, Damien Harthorne has worked undercover as an agent of Ultima Thule, the last remnant on the planet Genesis of the long vanished Interstellar Empire. Posing, first as a mercenary for hire, then as a wealthy merchant, he travels the continent, always pursuing the goals of his adopted country. Damien’s latest assignment is to establish a military force dedicated to the destruction of the raider network that has plagued the nations of the Continental Assembly.
Now, in the city of Dragonheart, he is building what he intends to be a permanent base that will allow him to extend his reach across the entire continent.
Damien has come to suspect that the ancient, mysterious ephemera have their own conflicts and agenda, and that their plans will have a dire impact on Damien’s mission.
Forces are stirring. Ancient grievances are being revived. Old hatreds are rising to the surface, determined to wreak havoc on a fragile humanity.
Damien knows that his enemy has secrets, but what he doesn’t know is that his own hazy origins contain even greater secrets, secrets which can determine the success or failure of his mission, and ultimately threaten the survival of both mankind and the ephemera.
Genre: Science Fiction
