Across the vastness of space, the greatest weapon is time. A message from a annihilated sector arrives fifty years too late , revealing an enemy that weaponizes the very speed of light. Outcast Governor Ciro Montoya, the only one to understand their strategy, must sacrifice worlds to bait a trap a century in the making, embracing a "terrible calculus" that will save humanity but brand him a tyrant.

Decades later, the war rages on. In the heat of a desperate battle to save a besieged planet , the rigid, honorable doctrine of a legendary admiral of the old guard clashes with the radical, drone-swarm tactics of his young, firebrand captain. Their conflict encapsulates the soul of the Terran Fleet as it is forced to evolve or die.

Yet, the key to victory may come from an unthinkable source. Within the monolithic Hegemony, a brilliant and decorated Fleet Master , haunted by the contradictions in his people's sacred warrior creed, chooses a lonely path of heresy. To save his species from their own unyielding dogma, he must become the unseen hand of their defeat, subtly undermining the war effort from the inside.

Tales of the Tyranny of Light is a trilogy of interconnected stories that paints a century-spanning picture of interstellar war, where victory is measured in generations, the greatest heroes are deemed traitors, and the most dangerous weapon is the truth.
