The Ember Warden

On a desolate wasteland planet littered with the colossal wrecks of ancient starships, a lone guardian patrols his forgotten frontier. His solitary existence is shattered when he rescues a mysterious, amnesiac woman—a living key to a secret that could reignite the stars or plunge them into eternal silence. Now hunted by a ruthless corporate empire, they are thrust into a desperate flight across a hostile world. To protect her and survive, he must master forgotten technologies, pushing the limits of his genetic and cybernetic enhancements. As he uncovers a galaxy-spanning conspiracy tied to his own traumatic past, this hardened soldier must transform from a mere warden of ruin into the guardian of civilization itself. In this crucible of fire and steel, two broken souls will either heal each other or be consumed by the darkness.
