Summary
Noah Bennett wasn’t your typical Alliance soldier. Well, that’s probably because he was less of a soldier and more of a consultant, really. But he was a consultant that refused to back down from a challenge, even in the face of the most tremendous odds.
Caelus Aviran wasn’t your typical turian soldier. He wasn’t even your typical turian, if one were to be completely honest. He was a Special Forces commander with his heart on his sleeve and a penchant for thinking outside of the box.
Improbable circumstances, and no small amount of luck, see these two misfits meeting at the center of one of the strangest mysteries their universe had to offer. With the clock ticking down to universal genocide and a deck of impossible obstacles stacked against them, Noah and Caelus must find a way to join forces and overcome the odds before it’s too late.
But even then, fate isn’t done with them, and from the precipice of disaster to the rebirth of a galaxy, these two unlikely heroes set off to challenge the status quo, redefine destiny, and chart the course of the future, together.
