After major coastal cities sink to the bottom of the ocean at the end of the twenty-first century, the richest inhabitants of Earth escape the planet to build new colonies in a distant solar system. Thirty six light years away from the Milky Way galaxy, centuries have passed and humanity is well established. Among the most notable establishments is a prestigious university for the study of alien biology. Moira, a girl with a pervasive developmental disorder, but a talented student nonetheless, navigates the challenge of interplanetary university life as she researches a rare and endangered species. When a deeper threat emerges that challenges the existence of these creatures, she must team up with her classmates and find a solution to a problem much bigger than they could ever hope to be. ***** Credits: The cover is courtesy of the brilliant @vertigo_moon from The Vertigo Graphics while the line editing/proofreading/grammar check was done with a lot of input from Halyn Bleiz a.k.a vin_elend from the Floret community and Katie Marie from the Coven of Bookworms community.

How do you stay happy when the source of your happiness is fading? Nardho used to think that he has it all: wonderful friends, caring siblings, a happy family, and a beautiful wife he adores. Life, however, does not always go according to plan. When he is faced with the reality of his wife's disease, he is forced to asses his options: accept gracefully that there are things he can't change or succumb to his depression. While evaluating his options, he is recording voice notes to chronicle the good times he used to have. He tries his best to re-tell what it was like to champion disability rights and promote the protection of a vulnerable species. You are invited to dive into Nardho's head as he wrestles his emotions to remember the best moments of his and his wife's teenage years while also dealing with mental health issues. Told in two alternating timelines, this book continues the saga of a group of youngsters who fight for environmental and social justice. Now, however, you have a chance to also see the story filtered through the eyes of an adult. **** Cover credits: Shreya Goswamy (Shreya_VA)
