Wraithburn

In a galaxy driven by war, greed, and the race to control bleeding-edge tech, one broken bounty hunter stumbles onto a secret that could rewrite the balance of power, and the fate of entire worlds. Eryx "Ryx" Thorne isn't a hero. He's a scarred ex-scout with more enemies than credits to his name. Orphaned on the industrial hellscape of Dregan IV and forged into a soldier by a corrupt military, Ryx walks a thin line between survival and self-destruction, scraping by on whatever jobs the underworld throws his way. But when a botched bounty leads to the accidental death of an old war comrade, and the discovery of a strange golden armlet, Ryx's life is thrown into chaos. The artifact bonds to him, awakening a mysterious armor unlike anything known in the galaxy.

Suddenly, he becomes the target of powerful corporations, deadly mercenaries, and ancient forces that have long remained in the shadows. Forced to seek refuge with the only people he still trusts, Ryx begins a dangerous journey to uncover the truth behind the armlet and its origins. Along the way, he forms uneasy alliances, reopens old wounds, and digs into secrets buried beneath layers of war and time. Ryx must choose: keep running from the ghosts of war, or become something greater than he ever believed possible.

Because whatever the truth is, the universe may not survive it.
