Fractum: The Echo of Extinct Stars

Before the silence, there was a song that sustained the cosmos. It is unraveling.

Kaelen Vorn is a twenty-three-year-old mechanic on a third-tier freight ship - the kind of man who fixes broken engines and asks no questions about the cargo. Until the day he opens a crate that glows violet in the dark, touches what's inside, and accidentally destroys part of a space station with powers he didn't know he had.

Now he's a wanted fugitive. And the crystal he found shouldn't exist - it was catalogued as destroyed eight hundred years ago.

Hunted by three galactic factions, Kaelen is drawn into a race to recover seven ancient Fragments left behind by a civilization that vanished fifty thousand years ago. The Arxae built something before they disappeared - a mechanism designed for a single person with a frequency that has never been recorded. A person exactly like Kaelen.

The galaxy's Resonance is changing phase. One faction wants to save ten percent of all life by sacrificing the rest. Another believes there is a different path - a Channel that could guide the transition without mass extinction. Both need Kaelen.

FRACTUM: The Echo of Extinct Stars is a sweeping space opera about a mechanic who learns that impossible and unsolvable are not the same word - and that the fate of the galaxy may rest on that distinction.

Perfect for fans of: Becky Chambers, Ann Leckie, Brandon Sanderson, and classic space opera with heart.
