However, his hopeless fate soon changed upon the arrival of a girl who was apparently just as freakish as he was. This is a story of a friendship that was to be forgotten by time.

Volume 1 of CANAISIS ∞ The Last Living Ship trilogy (Chronicles of Canaisis 1) Can a ship, born to sail the ocean of stars to ensure Humankind's survival, save her Captain from the void within his own heart? ∞ ∞ ∞ Canaisis is the last of her kind, a Living Ship forged with Mankind's most advanced technology and artificial intelligence. Together with her Captain, she sails the cold, dark void between stars at multiple times the speed of light-to ensure Humanity's survival. As Canaisis agrees to carry a corporation's entire personelle to their new colony planet, Captain Gareth Levant finds his solitude interrupted by a new culture and a woman whose Gift threatens to unlock the pain caged within his heart. A pain he's carried since before the day he first launched... centuries ago. As if that is not enough, something about Earth's Citizens sanctioning the corporation's relocation rings falsely with undertones that has Captain Levant on edge. He will do anything to keep his ship and passengers safe. Captain Levant loves his ship, as any good captain does since the beginning of time-whether with wind, sail and ocean waves as in the days of old, or in the vast depths of space. But if Canaisis were able to return that love, could it burn bright enough to light the way through the void within the Captain's own heart? Or does it require the Gift of human touch? ∞ ∞ ∞ By @kemorgan65 and @RavenRock2112 ∞ ∞ ∞ A prequel to the pre-story of #ShadowOfThePastTrilogy ∞ The Displaced. ∞ ∞ ∞ SEQUELS: Canaisis ∞ A Captain's Journey Canaisis ∞ A Shard Of Code ∞ ∞ ∞ REVIEW by @Ray_Of_Sunshine9 "...loved the overall themes within the story, and what it meant for me as a person - a mission of delivering hope and finding a new home. ...

A muggle-born Slytherin whose parents are terrified of her. A pureblood Gryffindor whose parents are disappointed in him. The arrival of her Hogwarts letter was meant to make everything better. Asteria Halloway finally had an explanation for her parents as to why she didn't fit in no matter how hard she tried. She was a witch. However, this did not make anything better. If anything, Asteria's life began to spiral out of control. Her parents feared her magic - troubled by their daughter's powers. Not only that, but the young muggle born girl would soon be sorted into the pureblood supremacist Slytherin House. Here, she would face discrimination day after day, year after year. Sirius Black spends his days pranking. Asteria Halloway spends her days reading. The start of their fifth year at Hogwarts brings with it terrible circumstance. Sirius and Asteria must go behind each other's backs and use the other for their own personal gain. Despite this promised one-time-only deal, the two of them come together and won't be torn apart anytime soon. And this is only the beginning of the unbelievably amazing events that unfolded for Asteria and Sirius. They're in for one wild ride and they're defying stereotypes left, right, and centre.
