Humanity is falling. She has little hope of survival.

Charlus Vaughn, a teenage refugee on the run from machine judgement and haunted by her mother's secrets. When a rogue data-pirate crew pulls her from the brink of execution, Charlus finds a place to belong, but something far older and far more dangerous is watching.

Entangled in the schemes of an ancient arachnid intelligence, Charlus begins to uncover powers within herself that unravel what she's been told.

Her past was hidden for a reason.

Humanity is losing its fight for dominance and the machines that hunt Charlus remember exactly who she is.

Residuum is a thrilling space opera of hidden legacies, AI genocide, and imperfect families, perfect for fans of sweeping galactic conflict, found-family crews, and slow-burn suspense.

Once Charlus learns who she is, the galaxy will know about it.
