Set against the backdrop of intergalactic politics and war, Starless Night follows the stories of three Humans as they struggle to understand the universe on a cosmic scale. Kayin has a rough start when the Shielders, a potential alien ally for Earth, come out of hiding and into the public consciousness. Not only does their very existence cause her trouble, her panic attacks threaten to derail her everyday life. As the politics of Space unfold Kayin has to decide if following her heart is worth leaving Earth for good. As for Henry Rickner, he wishes he could take back all of his mistakes in his life, starting with his choice to leave Kayin alone in Michigan and the problem: the Temorshians are right outside of Earth's atmosphere. The battle brings humans and Shielders alike to a northern city in Michigan. After a heavy day of fighting, Henry, pays the highest price to give back to his newly formed community. Melissa Pebbles, Kayin's best friend, only has one goal: to keep her family safe during the attacks. She will do anything-even kill- to make sure she and her family make it through the war. While Melissa fights to keep her family safe and alive, she learns that family is more than just blood. Can these three work with the Shielders to save Earth or will they lose the only home they've ever known?

When Mandy loses her job, she thinks she’s hit rock bottom – until her plane is swallowed by a strange storm that sends her and everyone else on board 10,000 years into the future. At first, she thinks the scary world is nothing more than a bad dream. The war-torn Earth is unrecognizable. Black fog blocks the sun, and the oceans are dry. Even worse: the planet is inhabited by half-human, half-alien creatures dying from a mysterious disease. Horrified at the thought of spending her life here, she clings to the knowledge that there’s one man who can open the star gate to send her home.
As the Naki prince who controls the star gate, Akkadi gets first choice of any human female that makes her way through the star gate. Only by breeding with purebred humans from the past can his race hope to remain immune to the disease and hopefully, develop an eventual cure. With shrinking resources and a raging battle for the human planet, dutiful, commanding Akkadi is less than thrilled at the idea of trying to figure out Mandy, a woman he views as wild with neither discipline nor respect for someone in his position.
He’s ready to write her off, when she offers him something too tempting to resist: her body for the chance to convince him by any means possible to send her home. Neither intends for the arrangement to be permanent or to fall for the other. Only when Mandy learns Akkadi’s secret and walks away does he realize he’ll do whatever it takes to keep her – even if it means losing his war.
