Fractured Echoes

Book 1 of the Iron Aeon

In the static between realities, something answers…

Rifter-Initiate Seren Kade trained her whole life to dive into the Pale Rift - an impossible, shifting dimension where the fractured remnants of an ancient Choir still whisper to those brave or foolish enough to listen. But on her twelfth dive, Seren hears something no one has ever heard: a new Voice. Layered, impossible, aware - something the Covenant has no name for. Something that marks her.

Across the stars, Warden Theron Kael of the Gilded Legion emerges from stabilization to learn his own body is failing. His armor - bonded to his nervous system - is beginning to drift, threatening to unravel him from the inside out. But when a catastrophic Rift event tears open a forbidden research station, Kael and Seren are thrown together in a desperate investigation that reveals a secret a thousand years old.

What they uncover was never meant to be found.

The Choir - the ten broken Voices that shape the Covenant’s entire understanding of the Rift - is beginning to reassemble itself. A convergence older than humanity is waking, and Seren’s Echo Scar places her at the center of it. Hunted by Ministries that want to dissect her or destroy her, pursued by constructs that should not exist, she and Kael must flee into the most dangerous region of the Pale Rift: the Spiral Scar, where no ship has ever returned.

But something waits there. Something vast. Something that remembers what the Choir once was.

And it is choosing its first emissaries.

Fractured Echoes launches The Iron Aeon, a sweeping science-fantasy epic of ancient god-technology, impossible futures, broken soldiers, cosmic voices, and two people who should never have met - yet may be the only ones who can guide a reborn Choir before its awakening either saves the galaxy… or tears reality apart.

Perfect for fans of Mass Effect, Revelation Space, The Expanse, and cosmic horror with emotional depth.
