Synopsis

Humanity faces an existential threat when the conquering Carryx empire invades the isolated world of Anjiin, enslaving its population. Dafyd Alkhor, an assistant scientist, is abducted along with others to the Carryx world-palace, where he discovers his unique skills might be crucial to understanding their terrifying agenda. Swept into a conflict far beyond his comprehension, Dafyd must become humanity's unlikely champion, even if it means betraying his own kind.
