Lord of Starfall

In a galaxy thrown back into a dark age of stellar feudalism, an exiled heir carries the memories of a lost era. He rises from the ashes, transforming cosmic dust into a personal empire and forgotten science into a weapon of revolution. But every victory in his war against corrupt nobles and a fanatical techno-theocracy pushes him deeper into a cosmic conspiracy. The universe is a chessboard for god-like AIs, and all of history is their script. Forged by betrayal and tragedy, he must sacrifice his humanity to gain the power to defy them. To break the chains of fate, this lone anomaly must wage a war not just for territory, but for the very soul of civilization and its right to choose.
