In a galaxy at war, humanity becomes the subject of an alien experiment that could determine their fate.
Arys, a glassblower outcast; Jehane, a skilled warrior; Dahar, an inquisitive mind; and Grax, a conflicted alien, are thrown together in a high-stakes trial. For the humans, the reward is unimaginable wealth. For the aliens, the cost of failure is far greater.
As loyalties shift and secrets emerge, betrayal, sacrifice, and death loom on the horizon. The outcome will reshape humanity’s future—and not everyone agrees on the path forward.
Can they survive long enough to understand the true cost of success, or will their ignorance be their undoing?
