Where do dreams lead? And what happens when life breaks them into a thousand ice fragments? Who will Killian Sivar turn into - a simple cadet from a provincial planet, when his dreams collide with the harsh reality of the future, the world in the era of Survival, where the Earth is destroyed by strangers, where the hero of his childhood becomes a bloody executioner, where neutron bombs destroy entire civilizations in a split second, where dozens of races are driven into slavery by the most cruel creatures of the entire Milky Way - people.
