Pale was humanity's most advanced piece of technology - the first AI to be fully mapped from a human brain. She was humanity's answer to their impending genocide. And now she is alone, on an alien planet, with no way home.

When Thanatos-class gunship USS Behold a Pale Horse engages the Caatex ships blockading Earth, she expects it to be a routine mission, but a technical malfunction with her faster-than-light drive teleports her into the orbit of an unknown planet in an unknown solar system. Now too damaged to return to her own system, Pale is forced to send herself down as a scouting unit in order to find a way home. She is stunned to find a world that, to her, can exist only in the realm of fantasy. Magic is commonplace in this new world, and it may just offer her a way to return from whence she came.

Now traveling with a local humanoid wolf girl as her guide, Pale must find a way to unlock the secrets this new world has to offer, all to return home and continue fighting her war. But hidden danger lurks all throughout, not to mention a single burning question that begins to haunt her:

When the time comes, will she truly want to return home?
