Wared Ra'Han, a young man in his late teens, finds his world turned upside down when his uncle unexpectedly survives a sacred ritual that every citizen must participate in. Shunned by his future fiancée and under the microscope by those around him, he turns his anger towards the source of his pain, his uncle Tarun. When he learns that Tarun harbors secrets that endangers not just them but their society as a whole, he is forced to pursue the answer to a question no-one is asking: what exactly is the purpose of the Departure Protocol and why did Tarun survive? What happened to all those that went before him and what secrets is the Protectorate really keeping from everyone? Wared's own future and that of their whole outpost hangs in the balance.

55 parts Complete

Book 2 of CANAISIS ∞ The Last Living Ship trilogy (Chronicles of Canaisis 1) ∞ ∞ ∞ As Canaisis agrees to carry a corporation's employees to their new colony planet, Captain Gareth Levant finds his solitude interrupted by a new culture and Ayla, whose Gift threatens to unlock the hole within his heart. A black hole of fossilized love he's kept buried since before the day he first launched... centuries ago. It is the nature of Ayla to attempt to heal the broken. But her Gift is a force onto itself--no one expects her to survive journeying for so long in the Captain's footsteps. Whether she finds what she is looking for or more than she is prepared for is anyone's guess. ∞ ∞ ∞ A collaboration story by @kemorgan65 and @RavenRock2112 This is a DIRECT CONTINUATION from #Canaisis ∞ The Last Living Ship.
