Corrupted Race

Could you wield great power and remain … uncorrupted?

The Horror is gone, and the terraforming efforts of Project RESTORE hid the scars it left behind. With Tynan and the last remnants of his empire vanquished, humanity has united. Raith is making yet another go at the simple life. He should be happy … but he's not. His social standing, his power, and his serenity — they're all gone too. Depressed and haunted day and night, Raith just wants peace.

But the galaxy won't let him rest, as his past ghosts stir when an ancient, telepathic race invades Gaia, instantly enslaving the planet. Great power calls to Raith — dark secrets and forgotten technology — to fight an enemy that commands billions. That power is tempting, yet terrifying, but Raith knows all too well the unforeseen consequences of playing with fire.

Immune to their control, Raith quickly learns that the enemy is everywhere, spread throughout the galaxy. Fleeing into the unknown, determined to find solutions, Raith soon discovers that the answers aren't to be found externally, but within. To save everyone, he must delve into his darkest secrets and remember who he used to be … but at what cost to his humanity?
