Book One of The Vigil's Wound
The Echo Weapon: Book One of The Vigil's Wound
Humanity chained the last god. But the god is waking up. They worshiped it as the Vigil, burned its ancient mind to cross the stars, and built a Dominion of ten thousand worlds on it. Cade Medeiros is disposable meat, forged in the frozen dark of an asteroid war school on the galaxy's rim. When a routine graduation drop becomes a massacre, a mutation the Vigil buried in Cade wakes under his skin and turns him into a lethal weapon he calls the Echo.
