In the lower sectors of a dying megacity, survival is a currency few can afford.
Luka, a silent scavenger born beneath the Federation's Spire Cities, dreams of more than steel dust and servitude. But when a routine aptitude test brands him as a candidate for the Imperial Guard — a rare soul-resonator with forbidden potential — his life is no longer his own.
Pressed into brutal military cultivation, injected with experimental nano-arrays, Luka must navigate a world where betrayal is policy, and survival itself is an act of rebellion.
Whispers speak of the Redshift Codex — a forgotten relic said to hold humanity’s lost power, buried beneath ash, blood, and broken circuits. As fractures spread through the Federation’s iron grip, Luka must carve his own path through blood, code, and spirit.
His soul is a battlefield. His will is the weapon.
The Redshift has begun.
— If steel can bleed, then so can empires.
