The Red Omen by Daniel Stroup
English | 2026 | Sci-Fi & Fantasy
The red light in the sky grows larger every day. No one knows what it means. Everyone fears it.
When a massive prison ship descends on the Sylvarian kingdom, its crew moves with ruthless efficiency—capturing villagers, harvesting crops, loading everything into their holds. Taan, a simple gardener, watches helplessly as armed invaders storm through his world, caging his neighbors and pillaging their jungle.
His friend Kreev barely escapes their nets. When the invaders raid the royal spire and capture Princess Ahnya, Taan joins a desperate mission to infiltrate the ship and rescue their people. But inside the alien vessel, nothing makes sense.
The ship’s holds are filled with creatures from a dozen worlds. The crew works with desperate urgency, racing against a timeline no one will explain. And the red omen overhead—the crimson star that has haunted the Sylvarian sky for weeks—continues to swell and pulse with unnatural light.
They must discover what the invaders know. Taan must free his people before it’s too late. And the red light overhead may hold the answer to why the invaders came—and what they’re running from.
