Betrayal, rebellion, and the looming threat of annihilation - can hope endure? In the eagerly awaited second chapter of the Ex Nihilo series, the survivors of Alcatraz have found sanctuary in the shining bastion of Empyrean Station. The Emperor's creation of the breathtaking star, Eos, has cast a ray of optimism upon the unforgiving Great Maw. However, not all within the cosmos share the same enthusiasm for this newfound light. As the brilliance of Eos disperses, it stirs the lurking shadows of malevolence within the abyss. The Reverie of the Cacophony of Discordance, a malevolent force of unimaginable power, sees the light as a beacon-an affront to the darkness that has festered for millennia. Supreme Tenno Ba'al Zebub, a shrewd and relentless leader, calls upon Tenno Asmodeus to track down the rebellious upstart, Lord Magnus Void. Meanwhile, Tenno Lilith is tasked with a perilous mission: to locate and confront the enigmatic Minister of Injustice, Lucifer, after the defeat of Tenno Leviathan at Empyrean Station.

Amidst this turmoil, A'zyren, a formidable warrior, returns to her tribal worldship, the Sesh'Yna. Here, Magnus discovers the Cacophony of Discordance's nefarious plan to manipulate the W'hyish S'yevel people into unleashing their destructive force against the new star, Eos. Magnus, faced with an impossible choice, must rally his loyal crew and venture to their planets to amass support, seeking to tip the scales in humanity's favor as the impending battle looms ever closer.

Meanwhile, Matthew and the Imperium of Humanity have harnessed revolutionary technology, including time-folding and energy-to-matter creation, powered by the radiant energy of Eos. Their machines labor tirelessly to construct a formidable fleet, their only hope against the encroaching hatred of the Great Maw-a relentless force that threatens to engulf them all.
