Amaranthe I: Rise

A rift in space that shouldn’t exist. A secret that can unite humanity, or ignite its destruction.

Alex Solovy is a lone wolf starship pilot with a talent for uncovering the hidden secrets of uncharted space. When she follows a hunch into a forbidden nebula and encounters a mysterious rift tearing the fabric of space itself, Alex stumbles onto a conspiracy powerful enough to rewrite humanity’s place in the universe—or erase it entirely.

Across the galaxy, Caleb Marano, a covert operative for the fiercely independent Senecan Federation, is chasing dangerous secrets of his own. When their paths explosively collide, Alex and Caleb must forge an uneasy alliance. Now they’re the only thing standing between rival superpowers poised to shatter a fragile peace and ignite all-out war.

As shadowy conspiracies unravel and ruthless enemies close in, they must outmaneuver political betrayals, mysterious alien machinations, and their own deep-seated distrust in a desperate gambit to save civilization from destruction. The fate of humanity hangs by a thread—and no matter what happens, the galaxy will never be the same.
