On the edge of the galaxy, Obsidian Reach—an interstellar fortress carved into the remains of a colossal asteroid—teeters between chaos and control. Once a forgotten outpost, it has grown into a fledgling empire ruled by ruthless warlords, cutthroat traders, and ambitious mercenaries. Power is up for grabs, but the cost of seizing it could consume anyone who dares try.

Kalen Vex, an orphan raised in the shadows of the Reach, has learned to survive by wit, stealth, and the occasional well-placed blade. For years, he’s been nothing more than a scavenger, watching from the sidelines as factions war over scraps of influence. But when a stolen shipment containing advanced tech threatens to destabilize the fragile balance of power, Kalen seizes his chance to rise above the chaos.

Tasked by the merciless warlord Lazrik to recover the missing cargo, Kalen finds himself at the center of a dangerous web of intrigue. Rival factions, rogue A.I., and ancient secrets buried within the asteroid’s core converge to shape a conflict that will determine the fate of the Reach. Kalen’s quest to reclaim the stolen goods quickly becomes something far greater—a struggle to forge alliances, rally unlikely allies, and carve out his place in the growing dominion.

As enemies close in from every side, Kalen faces a daunting question: Can a lone stray dare to build a kingdom in the shadows of giants? Or will the Reach devour him, as it has so many before?

The Iron Dominion: Rise from the Reach is a gripping tale of survival, ambition, and the birth of an empire among the stars.
