Book One of The Vigil's Wound
The Echo Weapon: Book One of The Vigil's Wound
A disposable soldier wakes into a dangerous mutation inside a Dominion built on a chained alien god-machine.
If you are new here, this is the place to begin. There is one public series at the moment, and this is the first book. It is trying to do a specific thing: take the intensity of a military training story, push it into squad combat, and then make the strange alien power feel like a custody problem instead of a clean gift.
Humanity chained the last god and built an empire on the wound. Cade Medeiros is not supposed to matter. He is a cadet, a body in a uniform, one more expendable piece of the Dominion's endless wars. Then the Echo wakes under his skin, and suddenly everyone with power has a reason to call him valuable.
The book is for readers who like combat with consequences. The squad matters. The body matters. The old alien machinery matters. The terrifying part is not only what Cade can do. It is what the Dominion, the insurgents, and the faith built around the Vigil will try to do with him.
