The world of Andromeda is not ideal. In it, people become monsters, and monsters become people. In secret laboratories, scientists carry out experiments, creating chimeras. In far corners of the galaxy, enemies invent a new generation of biological weapons. Humanity faces enslavement, and there is only one path to salvation—find a protector. Who will it be? A soldier, a politician, a witch, an alien empath, and the Possessed will meet on a narrow path to stop the war. Enemies are ruthless, and friends are unreliable. There’s no place for the weak here, and the strong will do anything for victory. But victory is a bloody goddess—and everyone will have to pay their own price.
