Aegis of Silence
A Post-Apocalyptic Military Sci-Fi adventure where an elite squad with a psychic operative uncovers a conspiracy and must go rogue with a powerful alien artifact.

In the sterile, dystopian order of the Concordiate, Kestrel Squad is the perfect weapon: four elite soldiers, bound by loyalty and an unbroken record of success. But the sharpest edge of that weapon, Kestrel One Madeleine Payne, harbors a secret flaw—a psychic “glitch” that floods her mind with terrifying visions of a shattered sky, a traumatic echo from a past she can’t remember. Her struggle to conceal this defect becomes a desperate battle for her career, and her life.
Their new mission is their most dangerous yet: infiltrate a reality-bending wasteland to steal a powerful alien artifact, the Conduit Spire, from a zealous cult known as The Assembled. But the mission is a lie, and the target is a key to a conspiracy that reaches the highest echelons of their own government. The Assembled are more than fanatics, the alien city of The Conflux pulses with a silent, holy music, and the Spire itself seems to resonate with the ghost in Madeleine’s own mind.
When the betrayal comes, it is swift and absolute. Branded as traitors and hunted by their former masters, Kestrel is cast into the desolate Fringelands with a truth that could destabilize the galaxy. With a mysterious guide and an artifact that sings a cosmic song, they must now fight a two-front war against the empire that created them and the terrifying secret it will do anything to keep buried. In a universe built on lies, can four rogue soldiers uncover a truth powerful enough to save—or shatter—reality for a second time?
