In the dusty corridors at the bottom of the planet of Chloris, far underneath the general population there are the old Space Docks. Decommissioned almost 200 years ago, the area is not meant to be inhabited. It is meant to be in darkness and silence, but a group of veterans and no hopers have developed a community.
In a time of struggle, chinks of hope arise out of the darkness. Electricity flows intermittedly through old wiring cobbled and mended together by ex military technicians, and water flows through disused pipes. Nothing is certain and everything is in flux.
It is a time of intergalactic war, where people are seen as disposable, and therefore worthless. Several residents of the Space Docks District are bucking this perception slowly but surely, and although crime is rife, so is goodness and the future may not be as black as it should be.

Awakened
Naomi believed her life was ordinary, her challenges no different from anyone else's-until the day she was torn from her world. Abducted through a mysterious portal and thrust into a breathtaking yet dangerous realm, Naomi finds herself face-to-face with Creed, a powerful and enigmatic ruler who reveals truths that shake the very foundation of her existence. She is no ordinary human; she is a Starseed, a being of immense power tied to a prophecy that spans dimensions. Trapped in Creed's world and cut off from her sister, Naomi struggles to reconcile her awakening powers with her fear of the unknown. Creed, a man with secrets of his own, insists she is the key to saving not just his people but the universe itself. But trust is not easily earned, and Naomi's defiance might be her only shield in a world where alliances are fragile, and betrayal lurks in every shadow. As the Dark Forces close in, hunting her for reasons she cannot yet fully understand, Naomi must decide whether to embrace her destiny or risk losing everything-and everyone-she holds dear. With time running out, she discovers that survival demands more than courage; it requires her to unlock the truth of who she is, even if it means forging an unbreakable bond with the one man who could destroy her. In a universe where light and darkness wage a timeless war, Naomi's choices will shape the fate of worlds. But will she rise to the challenge, or will the weight of her destiny crush her before she can fight back?
