  is lost in the fog of history\, but that history is about to end. The Car
 ryx &ndash\; part empire\, part hive &ndash\; have waged wars of conquest 
 for centuries\, destroying or enslaving species across the galaxy. &nbsp\;
 Now\, they are facing a great and deathless enemy. The key to their surviv
 al may rest with the humans of Anjiin. &nbsp\; Caught up in academic intri
 gue and affairs of the heart\, Dafyd Alkhor is pleased just to be an assis
 tant to a brilliant scientist and his celebrated research team. &nbsp\;The
 n the Carryx ships descend\, decimating the human population and taking th
 e best and brightest of Anjiin society away to serve on the Carryx homewor
 ld\, and Dafyd is swept along with them. They are dropped in the middle of
  a struggle they barely understand\, set in a competition against the othe
 r captive species with extinction as the price of failure. &nbsp\;</p>\n<p
 >Only Dafyd and a handful of his companions see past the Darwinian contest
  to the deeper game that they must play to learning to understand &ndash\;
  and manipulate &ndash\; the Carryx themselves. With a noble but suicidal 
 human rebellion on one hand and strange and murderous enemies on the other
 \, the team pays a terrible price to become the trusted servants of their 
 new rulers. Dafyd Alkhor is a simple man swept up in events that are beyon
 d his control and more vast than his imagination. &nbsp\;He will become th
 e champion of humanity and its betrayer\, the most hated man in history an
 d the guardian of his people. This is where his story begins.</p>\nhttps:/
