The fabric of existence is tearing. When a cosmic wound known as the Great Fracture destabilizes the multiverse, time itself begins to unravel. In a desperate surge of Light Shine energy, ancient battle droids and hyper-advanced androids are ripped from their original eras and cast into a dying parallel reality. This is Reality II, a world of flickering stars and crystalline shadows where the Voidborne-beings who exist to consume light-have already won. To survive the Meridian Scar, the machines must forge an unlikely alliance with the Triad: Araleen, a princess with Memory Sight; Rydan, a Mandalorian warrior of the Iron Constellation; and Lira, a Jedi-born harmonizer. Together, they must upgrade the machines into the Chrono-Machine Collective, a new species capable of navigating the collapse of the universe. Their only hope lies beyond the Ascendant Gate, within the Stage-4 civilization of Reality III. But the Voidborne are a multiversal plague, and they have targeted the Ascendant Heart-the engine that stabilizes all existence. From across multiple realities, shattered heroes gather for a final stand. If the Light Shine fails, history, memory, and life itself will be erased from every dimension forever. From author Raymond Bradley comes a breathtaking space opera that redefined the boundaries of science fiction.
