Coming Soon

The Shatter Belt doesn’t forgive mistakes.

Fresh from the Academy, Kaiden Jericho has a ship, a team, and a reputation to build.

The Belt offers opportunities for those desperate enough. Mercenary work. Salvage runs. Contracts that don’t ask questions.

The ancient warzone holds more than wreckage.

Asiton ships still pulse with power two centuries after the war ended. Signals broadcast from vessels that should be dead. Kaiden’s AI partner Chief is hearing things he was never designed to hear—patterns older than the war itself, buried in technology that recognizes him.

When a rescue mission goes sideways in a dying derelict, Kaiden’s team uncovers classified research the Asitons tried to hide. Research that three separate organizations have been watching. Research that suggests the war’s official history is a lie.

The Wraith Syndicate controls the salvage routes. Trinity Security wants the past contained. And a mysterious professor is paying them to breach a station that’s been dark for two hundred years.

Everyone has secrets in the Belt. Some of them are two centuries old.

Will Kaiden’s team survive long enough to learn what the Asitons were really running from? Or will the Belt claim them like it claims everyone who digs too deep?

Join Kaiden’s crew—if you’re brave enough to face what the Asitons left behind.
