Warrant surveyor Coyne gave the Sol Invictus Empire the mineral reading that brought an armada to an unnamed world. Four days later, his warship is wrecked in a bog, its armor seals are turning to grease, and hard ridges are growing beneath the survivors’ skin.
When Coyne reruns his scans, the veins of iridium and platinum resolve into organized tissue. Worse, every orbital strike is followed by a pulse through the ground, and every pulse drags the wreck closer to a vast fissure that rises, opens, and breathes.
Coyne has one chance to get a warning into orbit. To reach a working transmitter, he must cross a dying ship where technology is being eaten from the walls, mutilated servitors are waking with human memories, and House Warren’s aristocratic court would rather preserve an order of reprisal than admit the empire attacked something alive.
As the fissure closes around the ship and the next barrage begins, Coyne must decide how much of the empire’s machinery, hierarchy, and inherited obedience can be stripped away before anyone is left to survive.
