The galaxy is at war. Always has been, always will be. The methods may change, but the results are always the same. Harmony is not, and never will be, an option.

Until his parents are killed and he's kidnapped, Xaleyp Vah'Aris had been living a normal enough life. Making matters worse, he is forced into an army he wants nothing to do with. Mixed in with all this are visions of syringes and knives, and a prophetic sword forged by the gods. Maybe Xaleyp is not so normal after all. Now, he battles shifting alliances -- and himself -- to keep those he cares about safe.

The odds are stacked against Xaleyp when the largest empire in the galaxy wants him dead. How is he supposed to protect his friends when he's in constant danger himself?

Follow Xaleyp Vah'Aris as he hunts for power around the galaxy, makes startling new friends, and faces enemies he never imagined.
