The Polovians are long gone-or so history believes.
Across the silent reaches of space, the sentient starship Lucy still carries their memory: a living vessel haunted by her creators' final command-to find heirs worthy of their legacy. When Fleet Captain Bryan Landry and his crew uncover the ruins of the Polovian homeworld, they awaken forces that were never meant to sleep.
What begins as a simple repair mission becomes the rebirth of an empire. The New Polovians-humans, hybrids, and luminous beings called the Angelicara-must reclaim a galaxy ravaged by slavers and raiders, even as they struggle to define what it means to be alive, to be free, and to be family.
Guided by love, loyalty, and the strange divinity that binds man and machine, Bryan and Lucy will fight to rebuild what the old empire lost-not through conquest, but through compassion. Yet the universe does not easily surrender its ghosts... and some legacies demand blood before they grant redemption.
A sweeping space epic of rebirth, faith, and the fragile brilliance of life among the stars.
