A Star-Wheeled Sky

In a future where humanity's growth is constrained by a limited number of Waypoint nodes for instantaneous travel, two opposing Starstates teeter on the brink of war. A newly discovered Waypoint could lead to the long-lost creators of the alien superhighway, potentially offering technology that could alter the balance of power. Three individuals—a reluctant heir, a daring royal, and a disgraced officer—find themselves in a race against an unyielding autocrat determined to seize control of the waypoint and its hidden secrets. The outcome will determine whether humanity will embrace freedom or succumb to tyranny.
