The series

They stole my future. Time to steal it back — with interest.

A disinherited heir of the Fifteen manifests a broken System and the Hoqalo trait — a tinkerer's gift that forges gear far above its tier — and starts clawing his legacy back from the corps that buried his family.

I thought the System dealt me a bad hand. Turns out, the deck was rigged from the start.

Dash's broken System wasn't a glitch — it was targeted sabotage. As he finally unlocks his real power, the solar system spirals into chaos and his estranged family lines him up as a deniable asset for an illegal black-op.
