Book Description

A single crimson orchid.

A murdered archaeologist.

A mystery buried beneath eighteen thousand years of forgotten history.

When Captain Elias Mercer and the crew of the Wayward Sun are hired to investigate a series of impossible murders on the ancient world of Eryndor, they expect another bounty hunting contract. Instead, they uncover a conspiracy that reaches far beyond crime... and far beyond memory itself.

As each victim is found beside a mysterious crimson orchid, Mercer, the brilliant navigator Lyra, the enigmatic android Orion, the ingenious scientist Nova, and the AI Iris are drawn into a forgotten labyrinth of living maps, hidden machines, lost civilizations, and secrets powerful enough to erase entire worlds from history.
