Beyond the reach of Order, there is only the Syndicate.
The Varkh Ascendancy has a chokehold on the core worlds, but the Outer Rim belongs to the criminals, the exiles, and the lost. Here, in the neon-drenched shadow of the black market, life is cheap, and freedom costs extra.
But the Empire’s grip is slipping.
The "monsters" created to enforce the Varkh’s will—the hulking Orclan titans, the terrifying Chimeran shock troops, and the void-touched Starforged—are waking up. They are realizing that their chains are made of lies. They are realizing they don't have to be weapons.
The Convergence explodes the universe of Starlight Shattered. From the blood-soaked arenas of the Sanguine Pits to the silent, ancient temples of a forgotten Golden Age, a signal is calling the broken pieces of the galaxy together.
They are no longer victims. They are a fleet. And they are heading for Kaelen’s Folly.
The Empire built them to be monsters. They are about to become a nightmare.
