In Interstellar Year 8000, humanity has expanded across the galaxy, but survival comes at a cost. The elite soldiers, known as Pyro-Knights, suffer from ""Helix Fever""—a genetic breakdown that drives them insane unless treated by rare, gifted individuals called Weavers. Robyn Lowe is a realist. She has no awakened abilities, a stepbrother dying of Helix Fever, and a family on the brink of bankruptcy. When her fiancé, Hunter, dumps her for her entitled cousin Kylie (who has just awakened as a Weaver), Robyn doesn't cry—she calculates. She quickly secures a marriage alliance with Commander Sterling, a high-ranking but cold officer from the Imperial Capital. But Robyn has a secret: she has awakened. Her abilities are chaotic, her refining furnaces constantly explode, and her methods defy all scientific logic. Yet, out of the ashes of her explosions come impossible treasures. As she navigates military politics, jealous rivals, and interstellar warfare, Robyn must keep her true power hidden while forging a destiny that could reshape the empire.
