In the shadows of the galaxy, a child is dying-again.
DAX9, the latest in a long line of failed hybrids, was created to unite two worlds. But on a station ruled by logic and overseen by cold, calculating AI, every trace of his humanity is seen as a threat.
Then JR arrives. A human. A teacher. A danger.
Together, DAX9 and JR ignite a chain of events that will shake the stars.
Assassins move in silence. The station begins to fail. And somewhere deep in the code of creation, something ancient awakens.
In a world without emotion, love might be the last rebellion.
