Humanity has reached the stars, forming uneasy alliances with alien races and facing horrors born of war—monsters known only as Abyss Beasts. Peace is a lie maintained by the Human Federation, which treats the powerless as expendable. In this new era, strength is measured by psychic ability or magical talent, and those without it are dismissed as lesser beings. Zed is one such person—a human with no discernible power in a world that thrives on it. At an elite academy meant to forge the galaxy’s future defenders, he is mocked and brutalized for his lack of ability. But Zed refuses to break, masking his pain with sarcasm and quiet endurance. Everything changes when he's inadvertently dragged into a psychic conflict and left for dead. As his life slips away, he is retrieved by a shadowy figure with unknown motives. Awakening in a strange facility, bound and barely alive, Zed becomes the subject of a mysterious experiment. What follows is pain unlike anything he's ever known—and perhaps the beginning of something far greater. In a universe that sees him as nothing, Zed may soon discover he’s meant to be something more.
