Description

Floating like a gleaming pearl in the void, the Seventh Star Hotel has long been the hub where the galaxy’s elite converge for luxury, intrigue, and the occasional scandal. Its golden shells and lavish terraces have hosted countless feasts and whispered deals, but after a dozen years the once‑vibrant resort now teeters on the brink of obsolescence, its empty suites echoing the quiet of a fading star.

Enter Quillan, a muscular, hard‑boiled operative who’s been drawn back into the underworld of industrial espionage by the enigmatic Reetal Destone. Their reunion sparks a frantic race through hidden portals and concealed corridors, as Reetal’s cold, computer‑like mind pushes Quillan toward a mission that could shatter the hotel's fragile existence. With danger lurking behind polished façades and a mysterious threat looming, the pair must navigate a maze of secrets before the Seventh Star disappears for good.
