The greatest secret was always home. Commander Elias Rehn and his crew return to Earth—only to find a planet awakening to a Seeder legacy it never expected. Ancient knowledge stirs beneath the surface. Old powers fracture as new factions rise. And humanity stands on the edge of transformation. As the Veil destabilizes and rival claimants to Seeder technology emerge—exiles, visionaries, and conquerors—Earth becomes the final battlefield for the legacy of an entire civilization. Every choice will echo across the stars. Every sacrifice will decide the future. The last gate will open only once—and its price may be everything. The Awakening concludes the Seeder Legacy Trilogy with a finale of war, conscience, and rebirth. Worlds will fall, bonds will break, and humanity must choose whether it is ready to inherit the stars…or repeat the Seeders’ mistakes.
