The Citadel of Hyponeros

Through the deeds of the slaying Scathes, humanity is being inexorably reduced to nothing. Its last hope lies in the warriors of silence, legendary beings that travel through thought. They will have to be twelve. Twelve to penetrate the Inddique records. Twelve to unite their forces to defy the distant Citadel of Hyponeros.
But they are twelve dispersed throughout worlds, hunted and persecuted, twelve who are for the most part unaware of what they are.
During this time Tixu Oty, arrives on a dead star in the centre of the galaxy and penetrates the hidden depths of Hyponeros...
