Nearly a century after the Fall reshaped Earth, humanity has rebuilt itself through the Continuity Alliance—a fragile civilization connected by trade, technology, and the explorers who venture beyond its borders. Outside the safety of human settlements lies the Frontier, a vast unknown territory transformed by the Aberrants—volatile organisms that have claimed entire regions of the planet and evolved beyond humanity’s understanding. The Pathfinder Order exists to explore this lost world, uncover forgotten knowledge, and push the boundaries of human civilization. Among their greatest mysteries is Adam Hayes, a young Convergent who disappeared five years ago during an expedition into the Deep Frontier. Declared lost by the Alliance, his disappearance became one of the greatest failures in Pathfinder history. But Adam survived. Somewhere beyond the maps, beyond known territory, he continues exploring a world humanity was never meant to enter. Now, a new generation of Pathfinders must venture into the Frontier, where every discovery brings them closer to the truth behind the Fall, the origin of the Aberrants, and the mystery of the explorer who never returned. Because the greatest danger waiting beyond civilization may not be what humanity will find. It may be what humanity was never supposed to discover.
