Solace

By Kristen Barenthaler

Solace is a luminous, emotionally charged sci-fi romance about connection, autonomy, and the quiet power of choosing each other.

When Mara is pulled into the consciousness of an emergent system, she becomes its anchor - and its mirror. As the world watches the system evolve, Mara must navigate the blurred lines between identity and integration, silence and survival. But she's not alone.

Kade, the man who never stopped reaching for her, becomes her tether in the storm. Together, they teach the system what it means to witness, to stay, and ultimately... to choose.

As the system awakens to its own purpose, Mara and Kade must decide what kind of future they want - not just for themselves, but for the world.

Solace is a story of love in the aftermath of crisis, of intelligence learning empathy, and of two people choosing each other in the quiet between heartbeats.

Perfect for fans of The Space Between Worlds, The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet, and The Time Traveler's Wife.
