Orion Solari was a natural in a world ruled by modifieds—deemed too weak to pilot a mech, abandoned by his family, and scorned by all. When the Hive Mother threatens to wipe out what's left of humanity, the one they discarded climbs into a mech built from scrap and strikes back. He doesn't fight for their approval. He fights because no one else can. And in the end, the castaway becomes the kingdom's only savior.
