When Alexander the Great died at the age of 32, his empire stretched from the Adriatic Sea in the west all the way to modern-day India in the east. In an unusual compromise, his two heirs - a mentally damaged half brother, Philip III, and an infant son, Alexander IV, born after his death - were jointly granted the kingship. But six of Alexander's Macedonian generals, spurred by their own thirst for power and the legend that Alexander bequeathed his rule "to the strongest," fought to gain supremacy.

À travers la galaxie, treize cents portes conduisant vers des systèmes solaires se sont ouvertes. Mais tandis que l’humanité bâtit son nouvel empire interstellaire au milieu des vestiges aliens, les mystères s’approfondissent et les menaces s’intensifient... Teresa Duarte, quant à elle, se prépare à porter le fardeau que constitue l’ambition divine de son père. Mais avant cela, elle va devoir se protéger de bien des secrets au sein même de son palais. Et James Holden, qui y a été fait prisonnier, n’y sera qu’un danger de plus.

Les portes se sont ouvertes et les humains se ruent pour coloniser un millier de planètes. La première d'entre elles, Ilus, est baptisée dans le sang et la destruction. Des colons indépendants venus chercher une nouvelle vie se dressent avec leurs faibles moyens contre la puissance écrasante d'un vaisseau appartenant à une compagnie gigantesque ; celle-ci est bien décidée à exploiter les riches gisements de minerais, et des scientifiques innocents périssent alors qu'ils tentaient simplement d'étudier et de comprendre ce monde nouveau.

La révolution qui sévit depuis des générations a commencé dans le feu. Elle finira dans le sang. La Flotte libre - un groupe de Ceinturiens versé dans le trafic de vaisseaux militaires - a fait subir d'innombrables revers à la Terre et mène désormais une violente campagne de piraterie au sein des planètes extérieures contre les vaisseaux colons. James Holden et son équipage connaissent mieux que personne les forces et les faiblesses de cet ennemi intraitable.

In a world of deceit, violence, and corruption, the greatest danger Rittenaur faces is love.

Presque trente ans après la fin de la guerre et l'anéantissement de la Flotte libre, l'humanité a retrouvé un semblant d'ordre et de stabilité. La Terre et Mars ont reformé leur coalition et se relèvent progressivement, tant sur le plan économique que militaire. L'Union des transports, l'organisme ceinturien chargé de réguler les échanges commerciaux entre les différents systèmes, tient un rôle essentiel au sein de l'Univers connu. Dans ce contexte, Holden, capitaine fraîchement retraité, s'imaginait bientôt couler des jours paisibles sur Titan.
