Project Bifröst was meant to be the answer to conquering space. Rather than the ardors of space travel, humanity would create bridges that connected Earth to the stars.

They called it the kilolakh. A cluster of one million habitable planets. But the Project Bifröst didn't connect the Earth. It pierced it. All at once, a million planets blended into one. The apocalypse.

Now most of humanity lives in domed city states, clinging to outdated technology. But one by one the city-states are failing, leaving their inhabitants to uncertain fates, and the alien life now dominating the planet.

Calen is a physician living in the domed city, Athens. But when an outbreak threatens the city, he's forced to join scavengers in the wilderness to find alien bio-matter to develop a cure. It is there, in the fierce ruins, that he discovers Elkali. A monstrous alien with the ability to twist forms, fleeing the cruelty of humans. Elkali might just have the cure within him... But at great cost.
