Embers of the Skyfall

Betrayed and cast out, a gifted pilot is forced into a legendary squadron of last resort. His new commander is a military genius on borrowed time, waging a final, desperate war against both a monolithic empire and death itself. In a future ruled by titanic war machines and fueled by forbidden ancient technology, survival means mastering a cursed, god-like mech—an engine of immense power that consumes its pilot's life force. Rising from disgraced soldier to legendary leader, he must unravel a deep conspiracy that links his tragic past to the war's true origin. Forged in loss and loyalty, he will inherit a fallen hero's mantle and fight to bring dawn to a world drowning in the embers of endless conflict.
