The Firmament's Blade

Forged as the empire's ultimate weapon, he is a living instrument of war, his humanity locked away by cold programming. But his perfect obedience shatters upon meeting a maverick ace pilot, whose presence triggers glitches—forbidden emotions and fragmented memories of a forgotten past. Branded a traitor and hunted across the stars by the very empire he served, he must unravel the terrifying truth of his creation and master the monstrous power sealed within. Torn between a burning desire for vengeance and his vow to protect the one who awakened his soul, he will rise from being a tool of tyranny to become the heart of a galactic rebellion, ready to pass judgment on the gods of his own making.
