Commander Elias Vey is a disgraced officer exiled to the edge of the galaxy. Assigned to the remote Calderon Research Station—a facility built beside a volatile volcano—he is expected to keep his head down and follow orders.
But the planet is waking up.
As the station’s deep geothermal injections trigger a catastrophic eruption, Elias discovers the terrifying truth behind the Ashfall Protocol: the station’s emergency evacuation plan legally excludes the local indigenous population. Faced with a choice between strict obedience and moral duty, Elias must navigate a corrupt system, a hostile environment, and his own past failures to save a village that the rules have left behind.
