He was the Mech King.
Now he’s just the janitor who loves her in silence.
Broken by the deaths of his parents, Kai Ashford vanished from the world. The legendary pilot who once commanded the most powerful mecha ever built now scrubs floors and keeps his head down — all because the only person who ever saved him asked for nothing in return.
Her name is Nova.
And Kai has loved her in secret for years.
But when Nova is betrayed and forced into a lethal mech duel she can’t possibly win, Kai’s carefully built disguise shatters. To save the woman who once saved him, he must become the man the world thought was dead.
Unlocking a forbidden 100% Neural Sync, Kai awakens The Tempest — the last and most dangerous mecha ever created. As an extinction-level alien swarm descends on Earth, the forgotten king steps back into the cockpit… and into a war that will decide the fate of humanity.
He will burn the sky to protect her.
She will discover the truth about the quiet man who was never ordinary.
One hidden identity.
One legendary machine.
One love strong enough to survive the end of the world.
