Halteres
Synopsis
Welcome to HALTERES; a planet of astonishing
form and function. You’re just in time
to participate in its rebirth. Of
course, for anything to be reborn, it first has to die. Enjoy!
Halteres, a conjoined binary system unlike
any other in the known universe, provides the perfect testing ground for an
entity of almost unlimited power and ambition; the KYNOI. As the next planetary alignment approaches,
the Kynoi prepares to return. The Nexus;
an event no being on Halteres will ever forget, or live to remember.
In order to complete the Nexus, however,
the Kynoi needs some of the very souls it seeks to destroy. Its energy courses through every organism on
the planet, but a blessed few will be recruited to assist in its return; chief
among them, NYK. For those who inherit
this connection, their lives, their paths now belong to the Atosentient Lord.
Nyk forsakes his family, clan, and most
loyal friend, BRIMS, to follow the call of his bio-ethereal shepherd. The rewards will be great. He is shown Halteres’ true structure and the
magnitude of power he shares with her and the Kynoi. His extraordinary symbiosis with the planet’s
organic circuitry network, the ARCA TROCHIA, is growing.
Unfortunately, the consequences will be
greater. He has just set the Nexus in
motion. The Kynoi’s presence magnifies
throughout the planet. And soon, the
Kynoi will deliver Nyk to the doorstep of evil.
DROLOS, Sovereign Lord of Halteres Minor
and the Mendax, has been waiting. He
shares no mystical bond with the Kynoi, cannot be embellished or controlled by
it, but he has something just as powerful.
He has knowledge. He knows what
the Kynoi will bring and what is required to bring it. Now he has the last piece needed to set his
own plan in motion. The Kynoi has just
given him Nyk.
With Nyk within Drolos’ grasp, the Kynoi maneuvers
its other disciples. The COMRADES OF THE
KYNOI begin to coalesce. The
multi-species troupe of gifted misfits is unaware the entity that makes them
special and gives them purpose has far more nefarious plans. Little do they know their very destinies may
destroy the planet.
THYSIA; a broken and condemned Mendax
refugee escapes certain death to continue her search for justice. VINCO; a dishonored Ratnik warrior embarks on
an extraordinary pilgrimage to find his strength. Brims leaves her homeland to look for
Nyk. E; a conflicted Mendax sentry
retrieves Nyk and struggles with his loyalties.
FOURS; an anger-driven hover-lith pilot defies authority to find her
voice. PHYQUAE; the genius inventor of
the Kynoi containment device, the SCATHE, hopes for wisdom.
Soon their paths and plights will
join. Each has an inexorable tie to the
Kynoi. Each must discover that their
power lies not only with it, but with them.
Together, they must overcome monumental peril to rescue Nyk from Drolos
and uncover the secrets of the Kynoi.
Together, they must decide whether the Kynoi brings enlightenment or
apocalypse.
As the Syzygy approaches, the Kynoi’s
commands intensify. It will not be
denied. Drolos begins executing his
scheme to secure the Nexus. He will not
fail. The Comrades begin to discover the
Kynoi is not to be trusted. They must
fight back. Nyk realizes he has more
power than ever imagined. He alone must
choose; embrace providence, or destroy it.
Alright then. Until next time, don't bugger me! I'm synopsizing a book!
