The galaxy is dying. The stars bleed. And something ancient has begun to wake. In the final days of the Imperium, outlaws, pirates, and haunted captains drift through the ruins of forgotten wars. Among them is Juno Vex, a rogue Rift-pilot with a cursed past and a ship that sings to her in the dark. When Juno and her crew accept a mysterious salvage job at the edge of known space—The Dagger’s Edge—they stumble upon a derelict dreadnought fused with the body of a dying god. Inside sleeps an AI that dreams in divine code. And it remembers her. Haunted by timelines that never were and hunted by warlords who bleed voidlight, Juno must uncover the truth behind her own fractured identity. Because the galaxy’s last war wasn’t won—it was buried. And its echoes are calling. This is the beginning of the Black Star Requiem—a saga of space cowboys, cursed relics, god-weapons, and the souls left behind in the vacuum.
