Publisher's Synopsis
In a galaxy governed by the Solar Order, Guardian Kai Thorne commits the ultimate heresy: he questions.
When Kai discovers forbidden techniques hidden within ancient texts-forms intentionally erased from the Celestial Way-he is branded a traitor and exiled to Gravehold Prison, a facility from which no one returns. But his punishment is merely the beginning.
Gravehold holds secrets darker than the Order's censorship. As reality warps around him, Kai encounters others who have glimpsed beyond the veil-warriors twisted by cosmic forces, researchers driven to madness, and a mysterious woman with cybernetic enhancements who knows more than she reveals.
Beyond the prison's walls, a greater threat emerges. The Abyssborn, practitioners who embrace the void's power, are gathering strength. They seek to unleash forces that could reshape existence itself. When the Solar Order's betrayal is revealed and ancient powers awaken, Kai must choose between the rigid doctrine he once followed and the dangerous knowledge that might save everything.
The Celestial Way blends martial arts mysticism with cosmic horror in a tale of transformation and truth. As Kai treads the razor's edge between transcendence and corruption, he discovers the most perilous journey isn't across the stars, but into the darkness within.
Power awaits those brave enough to reach beyond the light-but at what cost?
