Solar Veins
by M.R. Mangum
In a biopunk world built beneath a glass sky, light is currency-and the Church owns every sunrise.
Kade is a Nightborn mercenary who bleeds darkness. Every mission drains what's left of his humanity. His latest contract: steal the Saint of Solaria, a living icon who channels pure sunlight for the Helion Empire.
But when he touches her, everything breaks.
Arin is that Saint-worshiped, imprisoned, and slowly dying beneath the weight of her own radiance. Her body was engineered to feed suns, not feel love. Yet the moment Kade's shadow collides with her light, their connection ignites a solar storm that shatters the empire's orbit.
Now hunted by a fanatic high priest and a crumbling world, Kade and Arin must flee across the fractured ring of a dying planet-through cities that bottle sunlight, through markets that trade human souls for watts. Together they uncover a truth buried beneath centuries of devotion: the Church has been feeding suns with stolen lives, and the universe was never meant to run on purity alone.
Their bond becomes both salvation and apocalypse.
She was built to burn.
He was built to consume.
Together, they create balance.
From rebel fleets in zero gravity to the ruins of glass cathedrals, Solar Veins is a fusion of sci-fi, myth, and forbidden love-a story of two beings rewriting the laws of creation in order to save it.
When the last star falls, light won't save you.
But maybe love will.
