Thirteen centuries after the fires of the Crimson Dawn forged a new world, the legacy of the Obsidian Sovereign and the Crimson Dawn has reached the stars. Aethelgard is no longer a small kingdom but a stellar civilization powered by the resonance of its founding mothers, yet its greatest horizon remains uncharted: the primordial ley-lines that thread the deep void.
Almandine—"Mandi" to those who know her—is the living bridge between two worlds. As the daughter of the Primordial Dyad, she carries the sated shadow of an Obsidian Dragon-Succubus and the infinite solar-fire of the Crimson Dawn. She is the Shadow-Stained Star, a pilot of "living midnight" who navigates not with charts, but with the predatory instincts of her succubus heritage and a heart that resonates with the fabric of reality itself.
When Mandi steps into the cockpit of the Voyager, she isn't just testing a new FTL drive; she is walking into "another’s house"—entering an ancient, intergalactic architecture built by an unknown hand. But the Star-Pulse is more than a technical achievement; it is a physical and metaphysical hurricane that leaves its pilot thrumming with a celestial energy that demands a grounded, intimate release.
Between the frantic adrenaline of the "Hunt," the quiet support of her lead technician Kaela, and the watchful gaze of the Sovereigns in the High Spire, Mandi must find the courage to cross the threshold. Because as the silence between the stars begins to listen back, she will discover that some horizons were never meant to be crossed alone.
In the abyss of space, the hunt has only just begun.
