Elder Hu Xin, the Crimson Saint of the Pathless Night Sect, is missing — not physically, his body is still walking the sect like he owns the place. But behind his eyes, a stranger is panicking, because his transmigration experience came with no instructions and none of Elder Hu's centuries of memories. Fellow elders, disciples, and dogs of the orthodoxy all have expectations about who Hu Xin is — and Hu Xin has no idea what those expectations are, let alone how to meet them. He doesn't even know how to work his own cultivation, let alone nurture someone else's. Shielded by audacity and armed with bullshit, this newly venerable and grossly unqualified demon is making it up as he goes.

Two years ago, Corey Vash got abducted by aliens. A few months later, mostly by accident, he saved the universe. The parades and free drinks are long over, leaving his crew of bounty hunters with nothing but the expectations of a frightened galaxy and the overbearing attention of governments who want picture-perfect heroes. Now a murderous new threat is stalking their every move, forcing Corey and the crew of the Wild Card Wanderer to move past the bullets, booze, and blind luck that kept them alive — and become actual heroes, even if they aren't very good at it.

Except this time there are no continues, no save points, and no respawns.

Set in the far future, humanity has reached the stars — only to find it is not the first to do so. A long-dead alien race has left behind ancient cities, abandoned starships, temples, and fortified bunkers filled with artefacts so advanced they feel more like magic than technology. Powerful enough for a single person to dominate a star system, these relics are also fiercely defended by bewildering security measures. Those who are compatible with the alien technology can augment themselves to face the increasingly extreme protocols in the depths of the ruins — and by doing so, attain greater and greater power. The rewards are immense, but only those willing to go further and risk more will uncover the greatest secrets of a civilisation that vanished long before the first human walked upright.

Matt Callaghan is in trouble. In a world where everyone has superpowers, he's got none, and has spent five years faking clairvoyance to avoid getting caught.

Unbeknownst to both, their paths are intertwined, and an unseen force draws them toward a secret whose existence threatens not just their lives, but the fate of the entire world.
