​Out of Aethelgard, and back into the light.

Out of Aethelgard, and back into the light. A return from silence. The starship Talon comes home, not as a symbol of victory, but as a ghost ship and the sole survivor of a fierce battle above Mars. In that deep red orbit, they fought relentlessly after discovering a terrifying mothership disguised as a comet, and watched as the 3I Atlas was destroyed. After a fight they barely won, with the scars to prove it, they now return with a terrifying warning to a world that believes in peace. Commander Anya Sharma, her advanced tactical armor a testament to the ferocity of the battle, stands ready to present the grim truth. The officials on Earth, however, see not a dire warning but a convenient lie, a battle-induced fabrication. They demand the crew hand over all evidence and, most importantly, the Alien that Anya rescued—the living proof that war is not only real but has already arrived. Faced with this betrayal, Anya makes her final, pivotal choice: she refuses to surrender the witness to a world that refuses to listen, choosing instead to become a rogue protector of a terrible truth that has followed her home.
