About This Book
Long before Hyram walked the gutters of Silver City, humanity arrived on Luna Mater with nothing but hope and the wreckage of a dying civilisation behind them.
Osprey is the story of that arrival — the first ships, the first settlements, the first terrible discoveries about the world they had chosen as their new home. Luna Mater was not empty. It was not waiting. And the forces already present on its surface had their own ideas about what humanity's presence would mean.
This prequel illuminates the foundations of everything that comes after: why Silver City was built where it was, what the silver in its streets actually is, and what bargains were struck in those early desperate years that would echo across centuries.
To understand the anomaly, you must first understand the arrival.
Character Spotlights
Athena
One of the first generation born on Luna Mater, Athena bridges the world the colonists left behind and the world they are trying to build. Her choices in Osprey ripple forward through centuries of history.
The First Settlers
The men and women who stepped off the ships onto Luna Mater's surface. Ordinary people placed in extraordinary circumstances, making decisions under impossible pressure — the ancestors of everyone who comes after.
Luna Mater's Ancient Inhabitants
They were here before humanity arrived. What they are, what they want, and what they are willing to offer — or take — forms the dark heart of Osprey.
