A sign in the dark. A threat that doesn't belong to this universe. And a young lady who loads with the destiny of mankind without asking. Five years after the Corran massacre, the galaxy trembling again. From the most remote edges of the cosmos, something approaches. It's not a fleet or a known intelligence: it's a Plaga. A colossal entity capable of corrupt whole planets, of changing lives and of forcing whole civilizations into the abyss. Amid an increasing chaos, Sael - a girl without a passing, rescued from the Exo's sarcophagus - will have to decide whether to flee or become the beacon of a new age. At his side, Kheb Knights, terraformers at the verge of collapse, wandering killers and old allies have been misplaced. While the empires of the Alliance and the Armistice discuss in armoured halls, forgotten forces cross the Stelar anomalies. And the buried secrets of the Etiptippes come to light with force. Rosak's name resounds, the Earth Stars are activated and in the corridors of death, old heralds speak again. Can a civilization survive horror if its greatest enemy does not seek to conquer but purify with fire?

Nobody knows who they are or what they're after but they've come to finish what humans should never have started. Wotan Danson, last Admiral of the Alliance, resists at Tanis as a beacon among the ruins while Actarus, the Renegado Kheb gentleman, keeps a secret that could be salvation... or final doom: a child born of myth, of Sael's blood, of Isabella Kheb's lost echo. At this sixth production of Legends of the Black Sun, masks fall, alliances get broken and fleets get burned. It's time for stellar funerals, for glorious betrayals and for unreturned sacrifices.

Twenty years after his disappearance at Tanis's orbital fires, Wotan Daneron resurges from the dead. But the great Admiral of the late Alliance isn't the same man anymore. What comes back from the ice and from silence is a shadow hardened by loss, sharpened by hate and fed by a single purpose: revenge. While the galaxy bends to the brutal domain of the arcans, the last human hunter prepares his return. Alone, trapped in a hostile planet, Wotan survives between ruins and corpses, hunting his enemies in the shadows. Now, with an Exo device in his power and his enemy's blood injected into his veins, he's ready to infiltrate his enemy's heart, break his code and bring chaos to the throne of Kalaran, where his tragedy architect Carl Gauss remains hidden. But the galaxy has been changed. At Asgard, two young cadets discover prohibited secrets about the Kheb lineage and the silent extinction that approaches. In the darkness of the Gloadius Nebula, the Deckard ship floats aimless and its young officer Magnus clings to a spark of energy and to the shattered memory of his fallen android while trying to mocking a fleet that does not forgive mistakes. In this brutal and final surrender, the ghosts of the past clash with today's machines, and shed blood begins to call for accounts. Because as soon as everything's lost, as there's no more army, no command, and no flag... all that remains is the first impulse of the species: survival and revenge.
