The story begins
The first DAWN novel opens across a galaxy that still remembers an older age of cooperation but no longer agrees on what should replace it.
Dr. Lysara Venn receives a summons from the Creators’ Council after centuries of silence. General Arkan hears rumors of universal alignment. Ambassador Selina Vora tries to hold a divided assembly together. Captain Threx witnesses a world disappear.
Published canon: the finished Book 1 manuscript remains the controlling source for all future DAWN continuity.
