I have made it to Colony Alpha, but the main Earth outpost in this strange world wasn't what it seemed. Unity changes everyone, and even here, the Keepers keep playing their mysterious game with stakes so high they defy imagination.
The whole world. The entire Dyson sphere and every living soul inside it. Even Eternity itself. Endless cycles of labor by millions of generations for an astroengineering miracle built by my distant descendants.
Or could they be my ancestors? We still don't know in what backwater of the river of time the Great Rune dropped our colony ark...
And all of it is in my hands. I, Sigurd Morozov, a pilot and Ascendant, an Earther and a True One, a hero and... one of the keys that opens the chest with the grand prize of this celestial game. I have to decide who gets the jackpot, the thing that will determine the future of Unity and Eternity.
The Source. The thing that gives birth to the most important substance in this world: Starblood.
