The Universe

Two Worlds. One Prophecy.

Two hundred years ago, a war called the Great Battling tore the Khizaran civilization apart. The exiled founded Tokorel — a hidden planet whose inhabitants developed the terrifying ability to sense and control the emotions of others. Now, an ancient prophecy threatens to drag both worlds back into conflict — or forge an impossible peace.

Planet Khizara

Khizara

A warrior world with emerald seas. Its people settle disputes with knives — because using a blade is personal. Home to 27 centuries of tradition, and a deep, instinctive hatred of Tokorellans.

Planet Tokorel

Tokorel

A hidden planet of exiles. Its people can sense and manipulate emotions — a power the galaxy fears. Most Tokorellans hide in plain sight, disguised as the very civilization that cast them out.

Classified Dossiers

A Forbidden Alliance

Prophecies have a way of binding even the most stubborn of enemies. Neither believes in such things, of course. And yet...

Linsora Anselm

Linsora Anselm

Half-Terran, half-Khizaran. An archaeologist who can hear the echoes of ancient civilizations. Her rare gift led her to Pak’bor, the oldest settlement on Khizara — and into the path of the one person she was born to distrust.
