Foundra The Rift War: Volume 1 (Foundra Series) - Tapa blanda

A gifted apprentice
“She could already read his thoughts, her closeness to him allowing her more and more access to the recesses of his mind. The intimate connection she is secretly forming with him is almost criminal, the young girl having to consciously restrain herself from influencing his thoughts and mood in her favor. She watches fragments from his encounter with Ecnics, a feeling of helplessness overwhelming him ... only one decision. The exchange between him and his mother unfolds, the same emotions felt by Brime in that moment as she hides a tear. She turns, looking at Lanrete’s disappearing form, her mind racing as to why he would allow someone like Neven on his team.”

An idealistic genius
“Neven stares at the portal as his mind races, the sight truly impressive. He is reminded of the fact that, just a few months ago, his biggest fears were not becoming a Feshra and living a life of normalcy. Now he stands staring at a Cihphistic portal that will take him to another world, where a being of immense power intends to kill him and all life in the Twin Galaxies. The young Secnic almost laughs at the irony of it all.”

A legendary immortal
“Soahc slowly walks past Marcus’s protective bubble with a gaze so cold he could have frozen air. Weapons fire streaks toward him, as the blasts simply cease to be, mere inches from hitting him. He walks to the crest of the hill, raising both hands high into the air, as a terrible earthquake shakes the area. Holding the position for a brief moment, he suddenly explodes into motion, a litany of words of power also escaping from his lips.”

A heartbroken lover
“Zun Shan wakes suddenly, sweat-stained sheets the proof of her string of restless nights. The golden undertones in her tanned skin glisten in the starlight, large windows permitting the luminous rays entry into her quarters aboard the starship Foundra Ascension. Every night since that horrible day is the same dream, images of the death of Lancer—Yuvan Nolli—burned forever in her mind. Sitting up, she rests her head in her arms, as powerful sobs rack her body, slowly pulling her back to sleep.”

An immortal leader
“Death. I have fed that foul beast a feast, and yet it still hungers. I have killed ... many. My hands are covered in blood that will not wash out, blood that will stain them for as long as I draw breath. I have killed enemies ... and friends, ending the lives of mortals and immortals alike. I have ordered the deaths of billions, the mighty Huzien Military crushing worlds that dared to defy ours ... to lust for that which was theirs by all rights. I look back on my actions, on the actions that have shaped our glorious empire, and I see ... shame.”

Together they will shape the future of a galaxy.
