Hadrian Marlowe will be remembered as both savior and executioner—the man who annihilated humanity’s greatest enemy, and the monster who destroyed a sun. But the truth is far stranger.
Born to privilege yet unwilling to inherit his father’s cruel legacy, Hadrian flees the path laid before him. Instead of safety, he finds himself stranded on a distant world, forced into survival among gladiators, courtiers, and liars. His choices echo far beyond palace walls, dragging him into a war he never asked to fight.
Now, every step draws him closer to the destiny history will twist into myth. Billions of lives hang on his defiance, but Hadrian’s greatest battle may be deciding what kind of man he truly is.
And in the end, who will the galaxy remember?
