The Earth is dying, choked by a dust of nanites that consumes all life.
Jennel and Alan, an inseparable couple, are among the last Survivors. Together, they must win the Selection. But victory hides a trap: enslaved, they are forced to become mercenaries.
Where Alan fights with strength and strategy, Jennel seeks the alliance that will break their chains. Lover, mother, and visionary diplomat, she is more than just hope-she is the key to a future where Earth and countless galactic civilizations could rise again.
She dives into a forbidden past, following the currents of time at great peril. But a hidden force pulls the strings of their fate. Strange dreams haunt her, a mysterious desert woman guides Alan, and on a forgotten planet, ancient archives whisper Jennel's name...
Their battle is not just about survival. For where Alan fights to save Jennel, Jennel fights to save entire worlds.
