The Sundering broke the galaxy. The truth will shatter their control.
The Varkh Ascendancy built their empire on the ashes of a forgotten age, enforcing their rule with a history rewritten to suit their needs. They are the architects of order, the purveyors of peace, and the galaxy's last, best hope.
It is all a lie.
Starlight Shattered is a collection of interconnected stories that pulls at the loose threads of an empire's grand deception. From the ground level, we witness the sparks of a nascent rebellion: a vat-grown soldier who uncovers the horrifying truth of his creation, a memory-keeper who awakens to a lost past, a disillusioned Purity Officer who sees the monstrous hypocrisy of his work firsthand.
Each story is a piece of a larger puzzle, a single voice in a rising chorus of defiance. Together, they tell the story of a galaxy waking from a long nightmare, and the terrible, beautiful cost of fighting for the truth.
