Pharaoh of The Stars

The Silent Pharaoh was never defeated. When the worm-veins fracture and silence spreads beyond Sol, the battlefield explodes from Neptune's orbit to the stars of Proxima and Tau Ceti. Kael, scarred and voiceless, clings to defiance even as his own ash-born soldiers begin to doubt him. Nyra, heir to shards that resonate across galaxies, feels every crown pulling her closer to a destiny she refuses to accept.
But the Pharaoh endures-growing stronger by feeding on division, famine, and faith. Ash chants, crown prayers, even false prophets: all fuel its rise. Across the shattered fleets, survivors must choose whether to burn, to kneel, or to crown themselves. As storms rip through worm-veins and exile wars fracture humanity, Kael and Nyra are forced to decide: is Pharaohhood a curse, inevitability, or the only way to end silence forever?In the end, the galaxy will not remember who fought hardest-only who endures to wear the Silent Crown.
