The war is over.
Humanity lost.
Now the last survivors hide in the dark between the stars.
Captain Casey Dane and the battered freighter Purgatory survive by doing what no one else dares anymore - answering distress calls. In the shattered asteroid belts beyond the dead worlds, Casey's crew smuggles refugees, raids Vorr supply lines, and searches for scraps of hope while monstrous gnoll-like hunters scour the void for human prey.
The Vorr do not conquer.
They consume.
Entire stations vanish overnight. Refugee convoys become feeding grounds. Human voices on open channels cannot be trusted. Some survivors carry hidden implants that whisper to the enemy. Others are far worse.
As Purgatory gathers farmers, prisoners, scavengers, children, and the seeds of a dying civilisation, the ship becomes more than a raider vessel. It becomes a moving sanctuary - overloaded, under-armed, and hunted across the graveyards of lost fleets.
But somewhere beyond the darkness lies Anchorage Veil, a hidden harbour rumoured to be humanity's last true refuge.
If it still exists.
And if the Vorr pack lord Grax does not reach it first.
Blending grimdark survival, desperate space combat, creeping horror, and ragged found-family camaraderie, Purgatory and the Void is a brutal sci-fi odyssey.
