TL;DR

I · The Main Plot
Where We Start
Ashlock, an ex-merchant who has turned over a new leaf, is half a step into the Nascent Soul Realm. His long battle against Nox is nearing its end (Aethon blurb).
Major Plot Points & Spoilers
- Ashlock and his sect are close to becoming a regional powerhouse (Aethon blurb).
- To complete his ascension he must form an Inner World (Aethon blurb).
- That requires ten thousand credits and various Star Cores that cannot be found locally (Aethon blurb).
- He must spread his roots into neighbouring cities and rival sects to get them (Aethon blurb).
- Each expansion that feeds his system's hunger also adds to his list of enemies (Aethon blurb).
Where the Book Leaves Off
The blurb leaves the Inner World still to be formed. Book 5 opens with Ashlock reaching the Nascent Soul Realm and his spirit tree calling down heavenly wrath as the Inner World forms (Aethon Book 5 blurb).
