Norin Radd has wandered the stars since breaking free of Galactus… but now the Lifebringer has returned — no longer a destroyer, but a force of rebirth, awakening old worlds and rewriting the laws of cosmic balance. Galactus summons her new Heralds — but Norin refuses. Haunted by guilt, Norin must reconcile his past actions as a destroyer with the new war brewing between life and entropy, between Galactus and something even older: > A creature known only as The Silence, which devours memory and time. In his journey, Norin discovers a half-broken, exiled Celestial and learns the truth — that Galactus is no longer a being, but a vessel… and someone (or something) is piloting her.
