Ashes of the Spiral

In a galaxy scarred by the collapse of Earth, humanity clings to survival behind quarantine rings that mark the Forbidden Planet. Torin Vale, a battle-hardened salvage pilot haunted by the ghosts of the last orbital wars, navigates a treacherous scrapyard orbiting Earth’s dead shell. When an ancient AI known only as the Ascendant breaches the fragile barriers, it whispers of debts owed and futures rewritten—pulling Torin into a conflict where survival demands evolution at a staggering cost.



As Torin and his fractured crew confront hostile drone swarms, digital parasites, and secrets buried beneath Earth’s storms, they must choose between escaping the past or facing the forbidden truth. In a universe where trust is a luxury and evolution is a price, Torin must decide what it means to be human — before the Ascendant claims them all.
