Five hundred years from today, the planet Gliese is humanity's last bastion, but its utopian facade hides a sinister truth. Bard Lao, a poet struggling against the Soul AI's control of his work, uncovers a set of manipulations that threatens to unravel everything. Presidium's eugenic society, governed by the Soul, is sending Lao, his botanist husband Stephron, and a reluctant crew on a perilous mission to savage Earth aboard the Free Sky-a ship powered by a magnon-driven FTL Vault drive that risks hallucinations or annihilation. As Lao digs deeper, he discovers the mission is a pretext for a military invasion, tied to biological warfare and the Soul's propaganda. An asteroid strike traps Lao and assistant Tay, forcing them to confront the lies, while Stephron's betrayal shatters their love. With time running out, can Lao expose the truth before Earth falls?
