Des lives for the stars. As an astrophysics researcher, she spends her nights chasing signals from the cosmos, searching for answers to questions humanity has asked for centuries. With her brilliant research partner Edward by her side, she's finally found where she belongs-lost in the infinite mystery of the universe. But everything changes the night their team detects an impossible signal. Something that shouldn't exist. Something that changes everything. Now Des is caught between two worlds: the life she's carefully built on Earth, and secrets from her past that are catching up with her. When a face from her past reappears and the stakes become impossibly high, she realizes that some mysteries are far closer to home than she ever imagined. Between cosmic wonder, unexpected romance, and a choice that could tear her apart, Des will have to decide what she's willing to lose-and what she's willing to fight for. Sometimes the greatest discoveries aren't written in the stars. Sometimes they're hidden in the people standing beside you. ═══════════════════════════════════════════════ CONTENT WARNING: Themes of duty vs. desire, war, magical fire-based world GENRE TAGS: #SciFi #Romance #YA #Fantasy #NewAdult #LoveTriangle #Cosmos #Royalty #Planets
