Description

In the depths of the lawless Delta Sectors, survival has a price — and everything costs more than Raven Karr can afford.

Once a fighter with nothing to lose, Raven is now just another stray scraping by on the edges of a dying city. But when his battered body collapses in a scrapyard and he wakes up choking on a strange black fluid, everything changes.

He’s not alone anymore.

A metallic voice crackles to life — not from outside, but inside his head.

“Sub-unit designation: Intelligent Operational Nanite. ION.”

An ancient nano-machine, long forgotten by time and buried with the wreckage of wars past, has found a new host. Raven’s body may be broken, but his mind — shared now with ION — becomes a battlefield of its own.

Together, they rise from the scrap… but neither of them is free.

Raven must outrun the shadows of a past he refuses to face. ION must uncover what happened in the decades it was offline.

The only way out is forward — and in Delta, forward means blood.
