Sixteen-year-old Sarah hasn't seen her sister Allie in nearly a decade thanks to a family feud she can hardly remember. But the world waits for no grudge; around the time of Sarah's birth, a race of aliens known as the tanta made first contact with Earth, launching humanity into a new star-faring age. Most people embrace tantic innovation, but Sarah isn't so sure. Growing up on her family's multi-generational dairy farm, she's learned nothing can replace blood and tradition.

Personal crisis meets global catastrophe as Allie pays her family a surprise visit on Christmas Eve. Can they bridge the distance between them before it's too late?

WARNING!!!!! 18+ fantasy taboo When humanity abandons Earth in search of survival, Captain Elias Carter and his 18-year-old daughter, Lucy Carter, find themselves stranded on the alien planet Kaelora after their starship, Eclipse, crash-lands. The planet is as breathtaking as it is unforgiving, with glowing bioluminescent landscapes, extreme weather, and remnants of a long-lost alien civilization. With no chance of rescue and supplies running low, Elias and Lucy must work together to endure Kaelora's dangers. Elias, a seasoned pilot haunted by the loss of his wife, is determined to protect Lucy at all costs. Lucy, brilliant and bold, is eager to prove herself, taking risks to uncover the secrets hidden in the planet's alien ruins and strange technology. As they navigate the perils of survival, the two grapple with their complex relationship. Elias's cautious nature often clashes with Lucy's impulsive determination, forcing them to confront their grief, differences, and the strength of their bond as father and daughter. When they discover that their crash may not have been an accident and that Kaelora holds the key to humanity's survival, Elias and Lucy are thrust into a race against time. Together, they must unravel the mysteries of the planet and face impossible choices that will determine the fate of not only their lives but also the remnants of humanity. Kaelora is more than a story of survival-it's a tale of love, resilience, and hope in the face of overwhelming odds.
