100,000 years ago, the galaxy was populated by a great variety of beings.
But one species–eons beyond all others in both technology and knowledge–achieved dominance.
They ruled in peace but met opposition with quick and brutal effectiveness.
They were the Forerunners–the keepers of the Mantle, the next stage of life in the Universe's Living Time.
And then they vanished.
This is their story.
The story from Halo: Cryptum revolves around the Forerunners, who appeared in the Halo video game series. Little is known about this race; the novel will explain why the Covenant worshiped them and how they created the Halos. The readers will be sent back in time to learn more about the Forerunners, how they appeared and why they were extinct. The novel starts a new story that will eventually reveal the mysteries of this ancient race.
