Book 1 - Existential Threat Arc 5 - The Scars of Time

Every journey leaves marks.

After the trials they have endured, the Enterprise crew must face the consequences of their choices, while the mysteries gathered since the beginning of the adventure slowly converge toward a larger truth. The wounds of the past, temporal paradoxes, and bonds forged across missions now take on decisive importance.

Between revelations, confrontations, and decisions with lasting consequences, this final arc of the first book gradually leads every protagonist toward a conclusion where the future depends as much on their courage as on their ability to accept the sacrifices imposed by the threats before them.

The Scars of Time closes Existential Threat while naturally setting up the events of the next book, The Shadow of the Red Tyrant, where new trials already await the survivors.
