Xion Book 1 of 10 - Ash and steel series

Lorcan was once an elite pilot, operating the best Mech machines the galaxy had to offer.  Now weary of war he hid in an space station that had crashed on Xion away from it all. Now fate has brought apprentices who match his resonance power and show promise to become pilots capable of piloting his fleet of Armor suits.
With terrifying new threats emerging Lorcan takes the mantle of mentor again finding that he must now push them and himself to limits not thought possible for any human.

Resonance is in every living being within this universe, yet awakening takes mastering any skill to the point it manifests physically. Still not fully understood it is a gift that when harnessed is an asset worth treasuring.

Genjin is watching carefully, each day desperate to claim the buried treasure of the old earth station with its planet conquering arsenal. He gets a chance when the great master Lorcan leaves Xion temporarily leaving his apprentices in charge he knows this is his chance and will take it with everything he has.
