A mysterious star system appears a single light-year from Earth. It shouldn’t exist…
James Carter, a war veteran seeking refuge from the government that forced him into fighting, wants nothing more than to protect his daughter and live quietly beyond the reach of the regime he despises. But when the impossible green star erupts into existence, Carter is abducted and forced aboard the Seraphim – a warship he once fought against during humanity’s brutal war with machines.
The mission is simple: investigate the star. The reality is anything but.
The crew of the Seraphim are a volatile coalition of mystics, psychics, monsters, and machine intelligences, beings bound together only by the need to survive what lies ahead. To reach the anomaly, they must plunge through Nullspace: a lightless dimension where physics breaks down, alien structures bloom through metal and flesh, and colossal entities move unseen in the dark.
As the crew descends deeper into the unfathomable, they must navigate betrayal, demonic influence, and cosmic forces that blur the line between alien intelligence and divine horror. When they finally reach the green star, they uncover an awakening ancient evil and the ruin it leaves behind.
Faith, reason and survival collide as they confront a truth that could doom humanity itself. Because the universe is older than anyone ever imagined, and the abyss has started to look back.
Seraphim Descent is a gripping sci-fi horror novel, perfectly blending cosmic dread, deep-space exploration, and theological mystery.
