In a universe of perfection, the truth is the ultimate crime.
The Q'tari civilization has reached its zenith: a technological utopia where emotion is optimized, logic reigns, and the light of their artificial star is constant. Q'tx, the greatest scientist of his generation, has just received his society's highest award for the tenth time. He has a brilliant wife, Ly'zn, and a child on the way. His life is the definition of success.
But Q'tx hides a catastrophic secret.
Analyzing ancestral data, he discovers an impossible anomaly: a mythological creature made of Singularities, a cosmic entity that moves beyond the laws of physics, consuming the impossible. And it is coming directly for them.
Worse: his discovery leads him to an even more terrifying truth. His utopia is not a hard-won paradise—it is a prison. They were placed there, not to be saved, but to be punished.
Now, Q'tx faces a race against time. How can he convince a perfectly happy society that their existence is a lie and that the end is coming? How can he save his family from a predator for whom their civilization is just... speaking dust?
A work of philosophical science fiction that combines cosmic horror with deep emotionality, questioning the price of perfection and the meaning of love in the face of absolute annihilation.
