This novel-in-stories chronicles the early colonists of the Planet Dharma in the distant Andromeda Galaxy. Some are driven by hope, others by trauma and heartbreak—they have come to begin a new and simpler life on a peaceful, uninhabited world. But their stories are not so simple: soon comes the harrowing discovery of an ancient alien technology that will change the course of human history. A woman leaves her husband and her planet behind chasing her religious faith, while a hundred-year-old atheist encounters an alien consciousness beyond her comprehension; A priest is given a terrible burden and faces his own capacity for violence; In the wake of tragedy, the Ankharra colony rends into pro-tech and anti-tech factions while a pair of young lovers try to navigate the divide; As the years turn to decades, a secret society forms that will shape the future of the Andromeda Colonies. What begins as a series of separate tales converges to weave a web of human loss and love at the edge of the known universe.

An epic tale spanning civilizations and centuries. Anka believed the stories since childhood: the alien relics bring ruin and madness. Ancient pieces of technology that have minds of their own, the relics interface with human psychology, granting the power to bend space and time—often inducing psychosis. When the colonists of Andromeda first discovered the relics, long before Anka was born, humanity was plunged into chaos. Now Anka carries a relic in her pack, tasked with securing the object before it does any harm. She sets out with her companions across the desert by foot, marching towards the distant city— even as the relic begins to whisper in her mind...

A religious colony on the planet Dharma receives a mysterious visitor: a woman who seems to fall from the sky. In time, the colonists would call her a prophet of the terrible events to follow, and the life of a brilliant young boy would be irrevocably changed. In the second volume of the epic Song of Ancients chronicle, Anka Aelgon is unmoored in time. Tamreh Prescott struggles to contain the fallout of her actions. The engineer Karillion chases his obsession across the centuries. The machinations of the serpent relic Ouroboros come to fruition. Where the Relics of Andromeda are involved, nothing is simple, nothing is easy, nothing is what it seems...
