Children of the Black Horizon

Humanity has survived, but at what cost?

On the far edge of the universe—with Earth little more than a faded memory—humanity finally thrives on worlds where they were once enslaved. But when the two greatest nations met for the first time, peace was not an option. An all-consuming war bent the wills, technology, and morals of both powers beyond recognition, leading to dark experimentation and secrets once thought impossible.

In the fragile, uncertain aftermath of a newly struck truce, a broken soldier and a lost psionic girl, both haunted by histories shattered by the conflict, work tirelessly to survive the slums of Minerva City.

When a shadow from their past returns, they are offered an easy way out: find the remains of a once-promising enemy research project lost in the deep unknown. Success means an end to their poverty, but in a universe drowned in blood, few things are as deceptive as a simple gig. As they embark on a harrowing journey into the black horizon, they will uncover not only the answers to their own ruined pasts, but a destructive power capable of tearing the fragile peace apart.
