Starbreakers

Kade Ibarra and Amir Solace hunt nine ancient keystones that can reopen the broken star lanes — the interstellar routes that once connected the galaxy. But every map encodes a test that punishes greed and haste, every shortcut hides a cost, and a masked figure called the Warden of Echoes tallies their every risk.

Something in the maps knows when they cut corners. When efficiency wins out over people, the path disappears. The one that replaces it is worse.

Lean, kinetic, and driven by two people who keep choosing the harder thing — a nine-book space adventure about found family, trust over power, and what it costs to do right by the people around you.
