Halo: Ares Saga

"The city of the gods lies forgotten; awaiting those who can reclaim it. The Labyrinth is the key. The One that is Legion that is One shall awaken; the New Wild City shall tremble and the sky itself shall burn; the silent sentinels that watched shall be cast down; the angels that served the Gods in their passing shall make war upon one another; and the Shining Warriors of Azure shall light your darkest hour. A Journey shall be revealed for what it truly is; and a decadent empire long overdue for collapse shall shatter. So sayeth the true seer of the Forerunners: Tana 'Satsunar."

Above Earth, two great ships shall meet in battle. And on Ares that they shall meet their fates...

The Aeneas has spent the past year at Minorca, one of the greatest battles of the war and one of the few victories the UNSC has enjoyed. Battered and battle-scarred, the Sailors and Marines must now deal with the knowledge that Reach has gone – and the Covenant is on its way to Earth, the home world of humanity, and the last great stronghold left.

The Bringer of Holy Light carries the hopes of the Covenant – Fleet Master Zuro Dun ‘Xoramee, the hero of Quenyathar; the San’Shyuum Minister of Acquisition; And the Jiralhanae Chieftain Erebus. Their mission is to reach Earth, and uncover the greatest relic known to the Covenant – but not all is what it seems. There is manipulation and secrets, and soon the machinations of the Prophets shall come to a head.

Ares lies forgotten and forlorn, a bygone relic of a more glorious time. It now drifts in space, abandoned…but not entirely empty. An ancient terror awaits a glorious awakening beneath its surface, straining against the chains that bind it to its prison. Its guardians, eternally watchful, have stood by and done nothing. But soon, they too must awaken from their eternal slumber, and take up arms. And as events come to a head, the Labyrinth shall be revealed…
