About this ebook

Earth has changed while they were in space . . . but so has Anna.

After centuries of survival aboard the Selene space station in the shadow of Saturn, a forgotten group of humans has evolved in ways Earth could never imagine. As communication from their home planet has been dormant for decades—and as their own colony is on the verge of collapse—they send a small group headed by their youthful leader Anna as emissaries on a desperate mission to ensure their survival.

What Anna and the others can’t know is that there is no homecoming waiting for them. Instead, they return to a shattered Earth—still reeling from a catastrophic comet strike that has fractured humanity into stratified city-states scrambling for any resource that can give them an advantage.
Anna is treated as one such resource, with strange powers—abilities that every Earth leader is eager to get their hands on. Her arrival sets off a chain of events that will reshape the future of humanity, and perhaps threaten its very survival.

Because the Visitors from Selene bring with them a discovery that could change everything: a connection to the very forces that bind life itself, both on Earth and beyond. But as they navigate a world of political intrigue, fractured alliances, and hidden agendas, they must confront the harsh realities of survival in a society that has lost its way.

Caught between a vain and ruthless corporate leadership, a desperate but guileless smuggler, and a mysterious figure with even greater powers, Anna must decide how far she’s willing to go to protect her people—and the fragile hope they represent.
