Lyra is one of four humans who awakens in a dazzling but dangerous world lightyears from home. The stars are unfamiliar. The skies burn with twin moons. And Earth as they knew it is gone erased by a cataclysm they can't explain. Somehow the four of them have appeared where they shouldn't even in theory. Declared anomalies by the Tharions, an advanced and war forged alien race, the humans are placed under guarded observation. Assigned to watch over them is Kael Vel'Sar, heir to the throne, commander of the Royal Forces of Tharion Accord and a figure whispered about more for his battlefield legend than his compassion. As Lyra begins to adjust to the new reality, she finds herself inexplicably drawn to Kael whose loyalty to his people runs as deep as the scars of war across his skin. Kael is bound by tradition, honor and blood. His duty is to protect his world, investigate the time tossed humans and report to the Council . But Lyra is unlike anyone he's ever met curious, fearless and irresistibly human. Their chemistry ignites the moment they meet a heat neither of them dares touch. Kael is forbidden to bond with an outsider. But Lyra is already a disruption to Tharion order. And because one kiss could shatter an empire. In a world where love between species is not just taboo but treason Lyra and Kael must choose between their hearts and the fragile alliance that is all that stands between peace and extinction.

In the aftermath of the Human-Covenant War, Spartan Olympia Vale, a fierce and disciplined human soldier, is thrust into an unexpected relationship with R'tas, a noble Sangheili warrior. What begins as a fragile alliance rooted in necessity quickly transforms into an undeniable, passionate connection that transcends the boundaries of their species. Their love is not without its challenges, as they navigate the complexities of their cultures, their duties, and their feelings for each other. With each stolen moment of intimacy, they discover that love, like war, is unpredictable-and it has the power to change everything. As they fight side by side, they must decide whether their bond can survive the tests of duty, difference, and destiny. Can two warriors from such different worlds find peace in each other's arms, or will their love be the greatest battle of all ?

The further she walked, the more distant the light seemed, retreating as if it were leading her somewhere. Then... Crunch. Something beneath her boot. Not snow. Not a twig. Glass She crouched, shining her flashlight over the snow. Scattered shards of a strange, dark material reflected the light in such an odd way. Then she saw it. Wreckage. Shattered fragments, twisted metal, snapped branches, all evidence of something that had crashed, hidden just out of sight. Her breath stopped. A sizzling noise. She turned sharply, watching in horror as a hatch on the wreckage began to open. Metal twisted into shapes that didn't belong. Branches broken. Snow disturbed. Her breath caught. A hiss. She turned sharply, watching as a hatch on the wreckage slowly opened. Something was inside. ~*~ Artwork is credited to the original artists. There will be song recs. ***
