Ignimus: A Sci-Fantasy Tale of Rebellion, Gods, and Galactic Tyranny (Astral Chain Book 1)

A spark of rebellion ignites in a dying world—and one enslaved boy may become the flame that consumes an empire. On the trash-strewn planet of Gorob, where broken starships fall like rain and hope is a punishable offense, humanity has been reduced to laboring prisoners beneath the United Empires’ merciless rule. Kol is one of them—a silent survivor in a world designed to break him. Every day he scavenges the ruins for scraps. Every night he dreams of nothing at all. His only tether to life is his wry, cunning friend Din, whose schemes offer brief respite from starvation and despair. Together, they endure. They do not hope. Until the impossible happens. A Ru’Kabari freighter ship crashes through the atmosphere, carrying rogue humans who dare to defy the empire. They speak of freedom. Of resistance. Of a power the empire fears—one buried beneath Gorob’s dying surface. Kol is thrust into a choice that will alter the fate of worlds: remain a cog in the empire’s machine, or seize a destiny he never believed he deserved. As the planet crumbles and ancient forces begin to stir, Kol discovers that within him burns something beyond rebellion—a power born of the stars themselves.
