"Epic action, tragedy, and romance amidst superhero-types fighting cosmic evil." - Kirkus Reviews

A powerful force known as the Enesmic permeates every aspect of the universe. It powers the mystical art of Cihphism which allows a gifted few to manipulate the very world around them. But something has gone terribly wrong.

When the flow of the Enesmic shifts, the most powerful Cihphist in the galaxy, Soahc, can sense that something is coming. Unable to convince other Cihphists to act, Soahc takes his apprentice and sets out to find the source of the disturbance.

As colonies across the Huzien Alliance are attacked by terrifying creatures, a prodigy named Neven is recruited to join the Founder's Elites, a highly skilled squad of specialists from across the galaxy. Under the direct command of Lanrete, their immortal leader, they join forces with Soahc and set off to discover where the creatures are coming from.

The Founder's Elites uncover an ancient threat from another plane of existence that threatens life as they know it. With a race against the clock and a terrifying war machine from eons past churning once more, will they be able to stop the engine of death, or will they be consumed by it?
