Kerai Hors is a terminally ill sociopath who doesn’t care about other people’s lives because he hates them with his entire soul. And then the young man learns about parts of the Serpent-Guard of Being that grant the owner incredible abilities—sometimes even distorting the laws of physics: controlling fire, a blade that cuts everything, and many other powers.
For the first time putting on the role of a captain of a space vessel, Kerai, together with a crew of equally unique individuals, gathers every piece of the guard along his path. But he must find the one that will heal him.
