The astro-engineering device built around a black hole is what locals call the Heavenly Throne. And inside it is Eternity. It’s a kind of afterlife where, after death, the chosen Ascendants go to gain immortality. But unlike the earthly world, it is absolutely real—and from there, sometimes, visitors descend, calling themselves emissaries of Eternity. Guests? Or owners? Legends say that the Kell civilization, which created a Dyson sphere, three galactic orbits ago forever left for Eternity to become all-powerful gods there. The voice in my head insists they were just cowardly creatures who, for their own salvation, once condemned the Unity and all its inhabitants to death. I… have to find out who’s right and what Eternity truly hides. The main thing is to remember: there is only one thing that interests its immortal owners—the single thing connecting the two worlds. And it is Star Blood!
