Two days. That is all the time Eriganh could take to turn his world-destroying fleet toward Areon. Adia, a scientist for the Areon colony, is the only one close to discovering the experimental fuel needed for a mass evacuation, not only for her colony but most of the 7th Galaxy. But the 6th Galaxy has already lost worlds, and Eriganh has entered the 7th. D'gharr-with its superior shipyards-is currently evacuating with the few ships that have fuel. Eriganh wants its resources and its people enslaved. Areon is next on the list to be broken apart. When a devastating explosion destroys two weeks of critical work and safeguards fail, Adia is left injured and reeling. Saved by a mysterious visiting scientist with unexplained telepathic healing skills, she is thrust into a race against time. With only days until Eriganh arrives to harvest her home, Adia must salvage her research and survive sabotage from within. The galaxy is panicking and Areon's research is their only hope. Adia must somehow find the new fuel before her entire civilization is reduced to cosmic dust. Battle Of The Cubes Vol. 01

Maybe Binneas' telepathic prowess can help her save lives, and they now remember years of a happy, celibate marriage.

Aine is on her way to a nursing home placement when her granddaughter gives her a toy goblin, but SETI has other ideas. "I don't want to go." I sat beside my daughter, who had the most miserable expression I'd seen on her in 19 years of life. She held a backpack with woefully little room for 65 years of my collection. Outside the window of the bus, I watched old mansions of Inman Park with their dead trees and bushes. I guess that's me, now. "Granny, I don't want you to go, either." Luna, my 4 year-old granddaughter, hugged me with her smelly goblin toy my daughter's sorry ex gave her for her birthday last week.

Bess wakes from a dream she can't shake. She was serving alongside aliens called Aryllans on a Diplomatic Service Team-building the first Aryllan Embassy on Earth. But humanity remembered what the Aryllans used to be. Monsters. Predators. Then she opens her eyes in Atlanta. She's just an immigrant from Papua New Guinea helping her family import plants after school. But something is pulling her. Bess grabs a bag of magnolia seeds and tells her sister she's going on a Walkabout. "You can't do that in Atlanta!" Watch her. Following an instinct to a place near her family's house, Bess is pulled aboard a ship and comes face to face with Perr-Prince of Aryll, heir to a dying kingdom of one hundred thousand worlds. She will witness the Aryllans transform from monsters into the people they once were. She will discover her seeds share an ancient bond with Aryll's mother tree. And she will learn that love-the kind she poured into a simple bag of seeds-is the only thing that can save them all. 📚 Book 10 of the Battle of the Cubes series 🏷️ YA Sci-Fi | Aliens | Diplomacy | Transformation | Plants & Love 2026 Royal Road Spring Writathon entry @JustWriteIt 30DC and 8CC challenges
