Unjustly hunted, their families murdered in cold blood, Estefan Ernando and his loyal band emerged from that horror to the pinnacle of the criminal underworld. They’ve built a gigantic syndicate of interconnecting corporations, foundations and enterprises stretching across the Solar System, a vast new empire of Humanity called the Sixteen Worlds of Sol. They are the Aegis Synod – bound by marriage, their undying love and extraordinary long life.
They possess power never before seen among men.
Until now, something unnatural has come to the Sixteen Worlds, something ancient and cold, bringing the vast knowledge of its age-old ancestors with it. Already, it has laid waste to villages and outposts, slaughtering all in its path in search of a weapon, a device that could destroy billions and drive all others into slavery.
Beseeched by an unlikely source, Estefan and his Synod have been asked to help, for only they possess the firepower and the technology to thwart the Ancient One. But, Estefan has little faith in mankind and has no desire to defend it.
His humanity in question, his mind clouded by terrible memories, Estefan must search his distant past for answers. He must revisit those days of persecution and injustice before his meteoric rise to power. He must harken back to the times of the mysterious Shadow Seed when he and those around him began to mutate. They’d become targets of a vicious multi-national organization, because of it. They’d been sentenced to death.
Will he find truth in the sordid days of his youth? Only he knows for certain, but he needs to discover it quickly.
Time is scarce.
The Ancient One is desperate. He’ll destroy entire worlds to find his weapon.
