Overview

Corvus follows Daryn Dall, a twenty-something Black gamer who’s spent most of his life carrying the grief of losing both parents—and escaping into the digital worlds he loves. He’s a nerd, a loner, and one of the best players on Earth at Quest 4 War, the planet’s most competitive war-strategy shooter. Maybe too good. His skills have drawn attention far beyond anything human. When a secretive, grassroots intergalactic resistance identifies Daryn as a strategic prodigy, their sentient ship—CORVUS—abducts him and drafts him into a war he never asked for. Their enemy: The Mare, a terrifying alien species whose psychic abilities force entire populations to relive their worst traumas on an endless loop, driving civilizations to collapse. Their only goal is annihilation. Trapped light-years from home, Daryn must confront his own buried pain while learning to fight a threat capable of turning memories into weapons. As the galaxy’s last line of defense, he’ll have to decide whether he’s willing to rise to the role others see in him—or watch humanity fall.
