Introduction: Persist, Prevail, Prosper.The Dominion's rule spanned the known galaxy, upheld by the Four Sovereigns - Valor, Unity, Fortune, and Justice - who govern the Sennia system with a golden grip. But when Valor obliterates Valeri Prime, it sets Sennia on a path of destruction, leaving behind the murmurs of rebellion, and a secret buried so deep, its unearthing could unleash a catastrophe even more devastating than just one world's end.Syra Jharis, once a celebrated pilot, is now a dishonored outcast, scraping by in the chaotic Scattered Weave after defying orders that labelled her a traitor. When the Dominion offers her a chance at redemption by recovering a mysterious artifact, she reluctantly accepts, hoping to reclaim her freedom.But the mission unleashes the Paragon, an ancient power that leaves a searing mark on Syra's arm - one mirrored on the last heir of Valeri Prime, Calyix Solvaris, who emerges from stasis after one hundred and fifty years. Thrust together by fate and forced into an uneasy alliance, Syra and Rix struggle to keep their mutual distrust at bay. Yet every heated argument and close brush with death ignites a magnetic attraction that neither can deny. As their bodies and minds collide, the line between duty and desire blurs, and passion threatens to consume them both. With the Paragon's secrets unraveling, survival means resisting the pull-or surrendering to a fire that could burn them and everything around them to ash.18+, Explicit & Graphic Depictions of Heavy Themes...
