Blackstar

By R. T. Kalen

The Veylori have finally returned home.

After a journey spanning centuries and galaxies, Tiberius Caelan leads the Return Fleet into the silent heart of the civilization he once fought to save. The stars remain. The worlds remain. But the galaxy they remember is gone.

What waits among the ruins is older, closer, and more dangerous than anything the fleet has faced before.

As unexplained signals emerge from the dark and buried truths begin to surface, Tiberius, Lira, and Aetherion must confront the cost of returning to a place that no longer belongs to memory. Old weapons may not be enough. Old loyalties will be tested. And the final battle against the Stillness may demand a choice no one is prepared to make.

Blackstar is the epic conclusion to The Veylori Cycle, a sweeping science-fiction trilogy of memory, survival, artificial intelligence, and the uncertain meaning of home.

All things return, yet none return unchanged.
