Summary
Jane Shepard survives the gutters of a post‑Contact Earth until a flare of emerging biotics pulls her into a Council‑funded research institute on the Citadel. There she meets Spectre Saren Arterius, the turian legend whose stalled hunt for Dr. Qian’s Prothean relic drives him to other means of staunching humanity's advancement: guardianship of the human prodigy. Through shrewd persuasion, he takes on the orphan as his ward, intent on shaping her into a model Spectre for Council display, even as he grips the unseen reins in his talons.
Saren turns her childhood days into field drills, war‑room simulations, and lessons in diplomatic knife‑work. He controls nearly every aspect of her life, leaving Shepard one private refuge: a risky friendship with hot‑headed cadet Garrus Vakarian — until her almost-father severs that, too. Learning what it means to be a person proves harder than functioning as a tool, yet Shepard can't help but to question her identity. When the long‑silent Reapers finally stir, Shepard must decide whether she is Saren’s instrument, the Alliance’s champion, or something forged in the tight space between obedience and revolt. The galaxy’s stance — kneeling or standing — will turn on her choice.

Summary
*Explicit rating reasons beginning at Ch 11* Nihlus Kryik is supposed to die on Eden Prime. Almost all of the parallels in the universe dictate and demand his death. Subsequently, in all of these parallels, Shepard does not or cannot witness his murder. But what happens when Shepard accidentally stumbles upon a twisted scene of betrayal and locks eyes with the victim? A new, broken parallel emerges, throwing Shepard into a circular chaos where she must continue to protect Nihlus's now fragile life. If he dies, they start over. But how does the cycle end?
