Tomb of Empires. Fallen Suns, #2

Fallen Alien Empires Rise Against Humanity The crystal has awakened. The echo spreads like a plague across the galaxy. Entire star systems fall silent. Civilizations crumble. The Kyndred's power is not salvation-it is a tomb. Castor thought he could control it. He thought he could use it to save what remained. He was wrong. Now he carries the weight of a dying galaxy. His crew is fractured. His allies are turning against him.
The Anvil Pact is closing in. The Enduring Compact wants to study him like a specimen. But the worst is yet to come. The Kyndred didn't fall. They were buried. And something inside the crystal is waking up-something that was sealed away for a reason. Castor must choose: bury the echo forever and lose everything he's fought for-or unleash it fully and watch the galaxy burn. The empires are dead. The tomb is open.
Something is crawling out.
