Science & Technology Guild

The Ascendance

A king does not rise by choice.

He rises because the universe leaves him no alternative.

Evan has never meant to rule anything, at least of all a future shaped by ancient guilds, ruthless technology, and powers that view humanity as expendable. When a single moment shatters the boundary between Earth and a wider galaxy, Evan is thrust into a conflict older than empires and far deadlier than war.

Princess Talia, of the Science and Technology Guild, carries the weight of centuries on her shoulders and secrets etched into her vary flesh. Bound by tradition, hunted by enemies, and watched by forces that will rather see her fail, she knows the truth: the future cannot survive.

Together they stand at the edge of transformation that will redraw powers across the stars.

Because some crowns are not inherited, they are forged.
