Here is a summary of the book:

In approximately the year 5027, an alien race known as the Kin arrives on Earth. Their massive spaceships filled Earth's skies like worldwide thunderclouds. The Kin look human except they are bigger, stronger, faster and never seem to age. Oh, and sunlight? It burns them to ashes.

The Kin came with an offer. They would share their advanced technology with the Earthian High Command in exchange for one simple thing: human blood. They feed on it. When it became clear that the Kin could merely take what they wanted from the humans with or without human consent, the choice to aid them was unsurprisingly unanimous.

But more than a little mystery surround these alien beings. For the Kin have lost the memories of their past. Some hideous accident caused them to forget everything before 10,000 years ago. While 10,000 years sounds like a long time, there is evidence that the Kin have existed for millions of years.

Many of the Kin's abandoned and forgotten home worlds litter the universe. Empty of people and yet still intact. The incredible technology that powers the empty megalopolises waits to be harvested. The Kin go on Ruin Jumping expeditions to these long lost home worlds to recover tech.

But one lost home world has haunted the Kin for as long as their memories span: Radeth et'Ghul al Shere or translated into English, Black Heart of the Universe. Black Heart is the oldest of the Kin abandoned home worlds and potentially holds the secret to why the Kin lost their memories. In a twist of fate, Black Heart's long-forgotten location is discovered. The Kin propose to do a joint Ruin Jumping expedition to this fabled planet with the humans.

Lt. Anarion Gray, a human Ruin Jumper, is assigned to The Abyss, a dreadnought-class flagship under its reclusive and mysterious Kin Commander, Lord Abaddon. Their mission is to retrieve tech from Black Heart.

Lord Abaddon has long haunted Anarion's imagination. To Ruin Jump beside him and to explore the legendary Black Heart seems like a dream come true to the young lieutenant. But he discovers that the Earthian High Command agreed to pay a much greater price than precious human blood for access to Black Heart's amazing tech.

And Anarion is going to find out, personally, exactly what that price is.
