When a black-ops mission goes fatally wrong, former soldier Ethan Kael Vire stumbles into the anomaly.
Nearly killed by a dormant rift core, he awakens with the Ascension Protocol—a sovereign-class system designed to fight a war humanity doesn’t even know it’s losing.
Reality is fraying. Unseen entities called Echoborn slip through dimensional breaches, infecting minds, erasing memories, and replacing people with hollow replicas.
As the last viable Sovereign Candidate, Ethan alone can see the fractures—and seal them before Earth collapses.
But power comes at a price.
Can Ethan preserve his humanity long enough to protect his sister, guide the lost, and rewrite the fate of a dying world?
Or will he become the very god the Void was waiting for?
