In the wake of the Soulless' loss on Nashu, a mysterious artifact is uncovered. The murals from its chamber describes it as granting the power of gods, but at what cost? Voices whisper from the pulsating depths, threatening to drown whoever seeks its boon. What, or who lies beneath the surface, and what do they want?
Once a simple engineer, Dalia Fitz, a newly minted Soulless Commander finds herself at the crossroads between following through with her mission, or doing what she thinks is right. When she's touched by the artifact's corrupting influence, she must race against the clock to uncover the hidden mysteries that lay waiting to be unearthed, and seek out the entity trying to spread its influence across the galaxy before it's too late.
Fighting what you can't see, what can't be perceived is a task that one woman can take on alone. Can she find common ground with people she once saw as enemies and work with them to bring a stop to an even worse enemy before she falls to it's corrupting influence?
